Re: Browser security problems - Safari

[Kevin Shalla <kshalla () UIC EDU>]

How do you know who is using what browser?  I could see why you may want to
not support certain browsers, but there is no way to prevent people from
using rogue browsers.  There are open-source web browsers out there that
programmers can modify to identify themselves in any way (and do anything
with the data that's being received from the web site).
