In terms of rendering capability, Abrowser is functionally equivalent to Firefox 6. However, its user-agent string reads like:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20110916 Abrowser/6.0.2

While I think browser sniffing among the stupidest trends in web development, the sad truth is that there are sites that refuse to allow any browser that doesn't have a well-known name like "Firefox" or "IE." Case in point - my ISP whitelists IE, Firefox, and Safari and blocks every other browser.

The obvious workaround (and what I eventually did) is to install a user-agent switcher, but I believe this is too much to ask non-savvy users. I think it would be beneficial to alter the user-agent string to include Firefox so as to placate ill-educated web developers. Debian has done this with Iceweasel; see http://www.useragentstring.com/pages/Iceweasel/
