Wow, a lot of info in responses. I have to switch banks and there is
really only one choice within reason, a nice local bank with a few
branches. I'm trying to get a clear statement from them on whether or
not they will block me. So far, the only word is they do not support SM.
I think I'll try to make contact with a technical person where I can
discuss the whole thing.
When an entity says "we only support <insert browser names here>" what
they really mean is "our 1st-level minimum-wage support people have only
been trained for IE/Chrome/Firefox", and/or their computerized scripts
only contain references to the most-common of browsers. Nothing else.
In nearly every case, their sites will work with all modern browsers, if
you can get by the 'sniffing' - which is easy with a UA switcher. Oh,
one exception: don't use a bank that is stuck in Windows ActiveX mode. :-/
I'll switch to that bank anyway and try all the suggested spoofs. And
als try to get the bank to do it right.
I use a local credit union here in New York State, and they know my
name; I'm not just an account number. Further, their web site doesn't
even require JavaScript to access and use completely.
