Safari’s hidden features
I’ve recently discovered Safari (Apple’s web browser) has a hidden debug menu which along with some useful JavaScript features, can pretent to be a whole selection of other browsers. Most noteably it can declare itself as Internet Explorer 6 on Windows, which is really handy for all those badly written websites which can’t be bothered to write standard code or test on other browsers. Once Safari is pretending to be IE6 Win, you can pretty much guarentee everything works fine.
Just type this into a terminal window and then restart Safari to reveal the debug menu
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
