[Ti] [OT] Microsoft to quit web browsers for Mac

[Pedro Vera]

I have a similar problem. The company that provides our timesheet service actively blocks Safari 
with the user agent string. A friend yesterday showed me how to unlock the debug menu and I 
can now make Safari fake IE so I can file my timesheets without switching browsers.

Thanks,

Pedro Vera
