Which sites sniff the vendor and block access?[/quote]

It is a potential "give away/betrayal".

Sites sniff for browser name not engine. No idea whether this hole in 2 tier browser camouflage  is already exploited.

It can be used. Thus, if possible, it should be IMHO covered preemptively like any other evil code or exploit - no matter whether exploits are already in the wild.[/quote]

Your wording makes it sound like it's a grave security risk :) Yes I understand your point and that some may want to COMPLETELY disguise KM for whatever reason and that's their right of course. I just wondered if Siria or any others had found sites that actually sniffed the vendor specifically to disable features or block access like some sites do now by sniffing the name only. It's been addressed in the forums [url=http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/forum/read.php?3,58240,58240#msg-58240]years[/url] ago as you may remember, but I've never actually come across a site that necessitated  the vendor/vendorSub strings inclusion in the macros. IMNSHO :) KM should be recognized at all times possible.[/quote]
