A easy way to watch Yahoo! music video properly with NS 7

Postby orizng » Mon 04 Nov, 2002 12:52 am

Goto: http://www.xulplanet.com/downloads/prefbar/
and install prefbar , since Yahoo music video require NS 4.x so ,you can hide your real UA and pretend to be a "NS 4.7 Mac" through prefbar, Yahoo will then run the video correctly.
UserAgent: Mozilla/4.78 (Macintosh; U; PPC)
Whatever,whatever,have a nice day.

Just a word.
We don't encourage UserAgent spoofing. Please use it only if necessary. Please do not play it. It is not fun.

Antony, I removed UserAgent from my PrefBar in every case(installed wherever it can be), but some sites are looking for it, and Yahoo Music is one of them. And, so far I have been unable to fool some, in which I was a member.

oh ,sorry Antony, I did not spoof UA on purpose in this post, You know, I haven't been able to watch Yahoo video for a long time, so I am really excited when I found the solution, when I make this post, I forgot to change the UA back. :roll:

I am also sorry for another post that I gave out fake UA, I have tried to delete it ,but it's seems I do not have the proper power to do it.

Don't worry, I know you were not encourage others to play with UserAgents. There are some useful situations to change UserAgents.

Useragent spoofing won't work where java applets or (I think, I'm a javascript novice!) navigator.appname is used to determine the browser (which, in Mozilla/Netscape 6.x/7.x, returns NETSCAPE).
