It is strongly recommended that you do not use this procedure for enabling spoofing for all web sites, as it has the potential to cause more problems than it will solve. Spoofing by its very nature means that IBrowse² is pretending to be a different browser, in this case Mozilla (Netscape) 4.78. Whilst this will sometimes allow you to gain access to web sites that employ ridiculous "security" checks etc., it also tells the web site that you support features that may not yet be supported in IBrowse. By having this option enabled permanently, any web site you visit could, quite correctly, assume that you have a certain feature available that it will try and make use of, when in fact you do not. This in turn can lead to further problems, when if you had simply visited the web site as IBrowse, it may not have tried to use the features of Mozilla. If you use this procedure and suffer problems, please disable it before reporting any potential bugs with the web site and IBrowse. |
