thanks nde. the idea mainly is not to advertise kmeleon but to let the webdeveloper realise his/her errors.. that's why the geckoisgecko.info part is crucial. because this person would be looking at visitor stats and find a lot of browsers with firefox agent but with an geckoisgecko.info ending..will make him wonder and go to that site and understand the message.

the updated switcher doesn't use the geckoisgecko.info part anymore because i found it would be using a wrong locale/os when spoofing with own string..so it just uses the default firefox spoof set in your prefs. so now you need to change the default firefox spoof in about:config

find the value: kmeleon.privacy.useragent1.string
it would be something like this:
[color=#587c6d][sub]Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.18) Gecko/20081029 Firefox/2.0.0.18[/sub][/color]

it would differ according to os/locale..do not change the main string, just add this bit to it:
 [color=red][sub]K-MELEON geckoisgecko.info[/sub][/color]
so it all becomes:
[color=#587c6d][sub]Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.18) Gecko/20081029 Firefox/2.0.0.18  K-MELEON geckoisgecko.info[/sub][/color]

i hope this becomes the default spoof for firefox in next versions and other geckos with the same problem would add it too like camino , seamonkey etc

orca guys decided to add their vendor/version substring at the end but that's not good enough..because it doesn't contain a message to the dev 'you have a problem please go to this site' .. they'd see the orca part and won't care much about it.. if anybody knows someone at their forums/devs, tell them it's more important to add the geckoisgecko.info bit than to add the browser vendor.[/quote]
