<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I like this idea. Right now we pretend
we are chromium. Some questions do pop in mind.<br>
<br>
1. Not sure what definition of broken is - rendering problems or
script problems? Other functionality -e.g. local storage/html5
quirks/differences etc.<br>
2. Where/how will lists be maintained? Given dynamic nature of
sites, the list also has to be dynamic and can not be built at
compile time. So one possibility is list resides on users machine
through some settings configuration.<br>
<br>
As Egor mentioned in other mail, contacting site admin is one
track and if webkit generates enough traffic, its incentive for
the site owner so that it works correctly.<br>
<br>
Personally I have not came across any site that was completely
broken. If memory serves right, there were few sites that did not
render correctly, but don't recall the names right now. <br>
<br>
On the other hand, since all the sites that we visit are using an
automated tool, rendering problems do not impact us that much. All
we care about is DOM and if its built correctly so that we can
scrape information. Sites we visit are all in US and are mostly
major service providers, so chances are high that they care about
browser compatibility. <br>
<br>
I have seen some javascript problems, but nothing specific to
webkit. If webkit reports the problem, chromium also does the same
thing.<br>

<pre wrap="">The user agent string is still causing problems in different web sites.
No matter how we change it, there's always a web site broken after the
change. So, I think it's impossible to have a static user agent string
that works for us everywhere.
What do you think about having different user agent strings depending on
the website? I think in the end it's a matter of pretending to be safari
or chromium, so we could have a list of websites that don't work due to
the user agent, and generate a different string for those.
If we end up doing this, it would be useful to have a list of websites
currently broken due to the user agent, so please share it here if you
know any of them.
Thanks!
