Add an option to the Preferences menu allowing the user to alter how the browser
identifies itself. This feature is present in Opera, and allows the browser to
masquerade as other "equivalent browsers." I think this is important primarily
because of the carelessness of some web developers that target only IE and
Netscape. Case in point: http://www.jasc.com - Their current javascript menu
system only functions for browsers declared as Internet Explorer and Netscape.
Mozilla, which netscape is not only based on, but at this point may even be
superior to depending on version, will NOT display functional menus since it is
not declared as either of the above. If I had my first choice I'd make all
developers be sure to include Moz in their scripts, but since the world has
never worked that way and never will, I suggest we do our best to work around it.
