auto switches agent to firefox when badsite detected else agent is kept as k-meleon
http://kmext.sourceforge.net/macros/agentswitcher.kmm

bad sites: hotmail(live login), yahoo mail, okrut and facebook.. more sites can be added easily by following the string template.. it's not the best of macros but it works even though onload. tested on hotmail..compose thing worked and facebook additional toolbar with chat and comments thingies.. on yahoo it worked aswell but perhaps not a good thing as they pop a message about real plugin on firefox but the mail works without please get another browser loser.

You can implement this code to read thes sites from a file instead to use a macro function for each site:

    $CONTENT = readfile( PATH );

Returns the contents of the specified file (32 kB maximum). Only for little text files.

note: agentswitcher-sup.kmm is a supplement for agentswitcher.kmm and can not work without it.

Mmmmmmm... easy? Please count the first code lines and second code lines. What is less work? And is a more elegant macro, seems that you know about macro language.

If you like it more easy then save the black list in a pref separates by ';' or '|'.
This is almost more speed because prefs are in memory but text file is in disk (requiered I/O request to disk).

first one has more code but less mind-usage..all copy and paste. i don't like to use my brain but yes ofcourse..it's much more elegant... i'm still learning macro, i like autoit more(don't have semicolons dementia there ) i thought about making it in prefs but this will make it harder for user(facebook patrons) to open and edit the list.

Disrupted,

SO is the above code the final user agent checker code? (I want to use ASAP!)

Much Tks

N

yes but use the whole extension at this link:
http://kmext.sourceforge.net/macros/agentswitcherplus.7z
because onload is not polite; the extension includes a supplement extension to toggle main switcher off and on, .. also a badlist.txt is included with known sites like hotmail and facebook already added. the supplement macro is important if you want to add a page to badlists.txt because it does it for you instead of editing in notepad

Lovely jubbly thanks disrupted.

disrupted,

One question for you. When I tried to use checkout to install this, it wanted to place the files in this location:

C:\Program Files\agentswitcherplus

Is that correct? Or something like this?

C:\Program Files\K-Meleon\macros\agentswitcherplus

or just

Tks.

Disrupted,

A nice way to advertise KM. Well done.

N

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:
_{Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.18) Gecko/20081029 Firefox/2.0.0.18}

it would differ according to os/locale..do not change the main string, just add this bit to it:
_{K-MELEON geckoisgecko.info}
so it all becomes:
_{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}

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.

Disrupted,

Agreed, poor choice of words on my part. I have not seen a lot of effort on website developers to acknowledge anything other than IE and FF. Just lazy designers imo.

N

Disrupted,

One small question for you. I've loaded this KMM up and now it shows up as follows:

Tools/User Agent/

[X] Auto Switcher
[X] Default

Are those the correct settings to properly use this macro?

Tks

N

yes, that's correct..if you see ;default' checked, that means the site is not on the badlist and autoswitcher is using kmeleon useragent.. when you go to a badsite, you'll find that the firefox useragent becomes checked

you can test with sites on the badlist like hotmail and facebook and see if firefox becomes selected, better test is to see if the features they disable with kmeleon are working with autoswitcher..in hotmail they disable new message>compose box and facebook they don't show 2 buttons at the bottom, chat and comments i think. if you don't have accounts with them, you can test with those:

hotmail account:
user: kmeleontesters@live.co.uk
pass: fuckhotmail

facebook:
anonymous2@freeuk.com
fuckfacebook

disrupted,

When I clicked on the links you provided, my Foxmail email program came up in compose mode, but the default settings didn't change. However when I went to facebook.com, the useragent string changed to Firefox. Nice!

In the thread mentioned in my previous post (above), there have been questions concerning the ownership of the geckoisgecko.info website, proper contacts and how K-Meleon got added. If you have any info on this, please post it.

There's also a solution for adding the string to your Browser User Agent String via about:config that I think would be usable by KM:

Quote
kudos
You can add anything you want to the user agent string:
Type about:config into the address bar and go there.
Right-click, then on the popup menu: New >> String
In the dialog box enter: general.useragent.extra.?orca?.gecko
Next dialog, set the value to: www.geckoisgecko.info
The user agent string will now have the string appended to it.

Edited 5 time(s). Last edit at 07/02/2009 04:16PM by foobarly.

thanks foobarly. adding extra strings to the useragent is nothing new(general.useragent.extra.xxxx)..microsoft does it to firefox with its extension thing to include .net version; it's important the developers release the browser with the additional string because not every user will bother adding it or know how.

i have no idea who's behind geckoisgecko.. whois.com sez it's registered to christopher henderson who is an ex-dev at mozilla so it could be him, his listed email is inspiralsoftware AT gmail.com it can also be robert kaiser who was one of the pioneers for the proper feature sniff instead of vendor sniff scripts http://kairo.at

kmeleon was always there, i don't believe anyone contacted them to add it.. the site used to be .org and later they removed epiphany when it became a webkit browser and replaced it with fennec so they stay up-to-date on their own.. when orca becomes better known; they will add it probably replacing the defunct netscape. they can try to contact either guys.

it doesn't matter if they add http or www, i prefer just geckoisgecko.info to make it different from search engine bots that usually have a 'clickable' address with http when viewed in sitestats.. this way it just ensures the browser won't be mistaken for a bot.

TY disrupted for all the info.

At the other forum, one of the devs/mods said that geckoisgecko.info doesn't resolve to the proper server -- orca, for example, sends you to google if enter this -- so the proper string should have the www. part. I appreciate the thoughtfulness of trying to differentiate this resource form the spambots, but isn't it too much in this case? I mean, the address is pretty evident...

TY again.

Wir sprechen über: useragent switcher ?

Eine K-Meleon Erweiterungen zum Führen einer schwarzen Liste, für Seiten, bei denen man (die Erweiterung wechselt dann die Kennung automatisch) Firefox als UserAgentString statt K-Meleon angeben muss.

Bei manchen Seiten muss man mehr als eine URL angeben. Ich musste bei Yahoo Mail manuell nachbessern, bis alles erfasst war. Vorher musste ich nachladen - bis ich endl. in der Mail war. Jetzt verschluckt sich Yahoo auch noch manchmal, aber das liegt bei mir an der K-Meleon Erweiterung für Roboform. UserAgentSwitcher ist also nicht unfehlbar - du kannst mal gucken welche Facebook URLs du händisch eintragen musst. Und welche anderen Erweiterungen stören könnten?

K-Meleon wechselt nach Standard, wenn alles heile ist, notfalls eine neuere Version der Erweiterung installieren. Guch mal in die Fehler Konsole, was für Fehler du hast...

Frohes Fest

ahh ok, dann läufts glaub ich so gut es geht...ich ging davon aus das der switcher unfehlbar sei und es alles mein fehler wäre

update#138178423894

this update addresses the issue of sites with several and non-conventional subdomains, with this update the user is no loner required to add every single subdomain to be able to use the switcher, it will automatically compare the main domain against the list regardless of the name or length of the subdomain or even when the host name contains several subdomains. i.e. only the main domain needs to be added

example if you have live.com in your bad list, the auto switcher will automtically use the firefox ua with any subdomain containning the original domain like:
skydrive.live.com
home.live.com
shhdwerwufwifwrwriwufhf.skydrive.live.com

same goes with yahoo and facebook etc or any other domain
you only need to add yahoo.com or yahoo.de and autoswitcher will activate with
mail.yahoo.com
26r2374923407924.msg12344723.mail231231.yahoo.co.uk
or
login.facebook.com
4123tsd7tf2etr672623.photos.e23ery72e23.facebook.com

the update also includes a new event handler for more effectiveness and a new status message when the ff ua is used in the statusbar: "stupid site detected: ua changed to fireslut"

the update also sets autoswitcher on by default so the user does not need to activate it from the menu on first run/first install

http://kmext.sourceforge.net/macros/agentswitcherplus.7z

disrupted,

Thanks for the update. Switcher is a most useful extension.

N

update
http://kmext.sourceforge.net/macros/agentswitcherplus.7z

agent switcher has been updated to a special version with a special detection for facebook domains after facebook has updated their sniffer to properly detect gecko but their js code requires atleast gecko 1.9.1 to work

the ua will now be spoofed to an 'older' opera string for facebook, other bad sites included or added to the badlist will still use the ff2.0 string normally.

the new switcher has been fully tested and it works as expected by auto switching to opera on all facebook domains and switching back to default on usual sites and switching to ff2.0 on sites on the badlist.

all features of facebook have been tested chat/notification/applications and they all work fine with the specail opera spoof..chat transmits work as usual and without problems, notifications as well etc however there is a small disadvantage due to that code kmeleon is interpreting on facebook is for presto engines and not for gecko. the icons displayed on the bar thing at the bottom are no longer visible but they are all there, you just need to hover on the bar and a tip will pop indicating that thing just without its icon




to prevent conflicts, facebook domains have been removed from the badlist and you should not add any facebook domains to the badlist(add website is now disabled if you re on a facebook page)

download latest update: (facebook special)
http://kmext.sourceforge.net/macros/agentswitcherplus.7z

please note:
this special version is only for km 1.5 and 1.1.x , if you use experimental kmeleons with 1.9.1+ gecko is does not require any spoofing with facebook, also official km 1.6 should work without any problems and without spoofing for facebookdomains when released..for that reason, the normal switcher can still be downloaded from this link: (no facebook support)
defunct
