I prefer using PrefBar to spoof other browsers, primarily because I installed PrefBar for other purposes. If I select "Real UA", PrefBar does not override how I have set the "Advertise Firefox compatibility" checkbox. If I select any other UA in PrefBar's list, that checkbox is ignored. -- David E.
