How do you switch user agents in MicroB????
 

What plug-in works best with Micro-B?

I need to pretend I am an iPhone - LOL

Google does not wanna give us G-Maps Mobile . . . scum bags....

Erm... it's a desktop class browser... why would you want to prented to be a sub-class device?

Re: How do you switch user agents in MicroB????
 

I believe you can install "Hide user agent", and change the "hidden name" to the iPhone user agent string.

If you want to go beyond just changing what is reported as the user agent, then you can actually switch to the webkit render engine...
The n900 version is probably in extra-devel so be careful... I know with my n8x0 tablets that you can install the webkit render engine (I think that the package is webkit-eal) and use the included utility to change render engines between microb and webkit.
Alternatively, (also probably in extras-devel) you can use Tear or Midori which are both webkit-based browsers.

Midori is also in extras testing I believe.
MicroB is still the best browser on the N900 imho.
I didn't know you could change the MicroB render engine. What is the default user agent string when MicroB uses the webkit engine?

Edit: I can't find that package

Here's the steps I took to change MicroB's user agent to the latest iPhone:

Download "Hide User Agent" from Extras-Devel (Usual warning applies!)

Launch the app from the settings menu and click "User Agent." Use the following setting:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_1_3 like Mac OS X; fr-fr) AppleWebKit/528.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile/7E18 Safari/528.16

When you want to switch back to MicroB, just click on "remove" within the "Hide User Agent" app.

I tried this to use the web-based Google Voice app for the iPhone. It sort of worked- but the formatting was all messed up-- although I could dial out and my google voice # showed up in their caller id. Not pretty, though.

Midori has support out of the box for the "iphone" user agent string.

I've kept it for browsing a few more small-screen friendly sites.

Did midori work for out of the box or did you have to tweak anything? For me it just times out even for google.com and says cannot connect to destination. firefox works so it's not a network problem. i believe it's not even attempting to connect since i do not get the data connection sign in my statusbar for midori.

Nope didn't configure anything. However it's no longer installed after a reflash for the 1.1.1 update, as part of this I noticed it took a fair amount or root fs space.

For me both iceweasel and midori cant connect. =(
