How exactly do you change the user agent in Safari? I've never seen a way to change that in all the menus I've found...

Although you may get a site to work by changing the User Agent, you might be doing more harm then good in the long-run.

If sites start seeing Safari users coming to their site, they are more likely to consider making their site more standards-based.

If they just see users sticking to Internet Explorer and that is the majority of the traffic they get for their site, they are less likely to do anything for Safari users.

Hihi,

There is an application that un-hides the debug menu in Safari. You can download it from versiontracker. It is called Safari Enhancer. Click on this to go to the download page:
