Browser user agent checks
One of my main complains of Safari since its release is that my bank, Citibank, does not work with it. At the beginning, I’ve tried turning on Safari’s debug menu and changed the user agent string to something more ‘normal’ like ‘Windows MSIE 6’.

OmniWeb 5 coming soon
So OmniGroup put up a preview page of OmniWeb 5 today. Seems like it will be a great browser, but I am not sure about advertising the ‘tab’ feature when there is no actual ‘tab’ per se. I am especially interested in the ‘Workspaces’ feature as well as the ‘RSS/XML feeds viewing’ feature.
I will have to try it out thoroughly before shelling out the $29.95 asking price. There are some shortcoming in Safari that OminWeb addresses (noticeably Citibank access) but similarly current version of OmniWeb, 4.5, has its own shortcoming too (no tab browsing and auto-fill is not really auto).
With the rumored release of Safari 1.2 around the same timeframe, let’s hope OmniWeb 5 will be a competition to Safari instead of just playing catch up.
Auto clean up in Mac software
What is with this automatic clean up (move to Trash) process employed by some of the Mac software developers? Take VueScan as an example (there are many others), I’ve just downloaded the latest version which is a piece of great software. When the disk image file is downloaded, an automatic process performs the followings:
- Mount the disk image
- Copy the folders and/or files inside the disk image to the current folder (in my case, the Desktop)
- Dismount the disk image
- Move the original disk image file to Trash
