damn web conf servers at work won't let me in properly while powerbook users can get in. only thing i can think of is that the server specifically looks for the user agent of a mac ppc and doesn't accept mac intel. is there a way to add the proper string someplace? i tried all of the options in the debug menu (ie6, etc) and none work.

thanks

Omniweb uses Webkit and lets you customize the useragent string, so that should work.

I'm waiting for the day Safari will be more customizable, at least via a manual edition of its preference file, it's ridiculous...
