user might find confusing. I prefer Firefox hands-down for every situation except those few obnoxious IE-only sites -- two words, AdBlock and RIP -- but
An amazing number of IE-only sites really aren't - they don't actually use any IE-specific features in a mandatory way. http://prefbar.mozdev.org Adds a nice customizable toolbar that lets you toggle a lot of stuff on the fly (turn javascript/proxies/Flash/cookies/etc on/off, lots of other stuff). One of the things it does is allow you to select the UA string that gets sent - it comes with 'Real UA', Moz 1.0 Win 98, NS 4.7 Mac, NS 6.2 Linux, IE 5.0 Mac, IE 6.0 WinXP, and Lynx - adding others is easy enough.
