NyPost is killing content delivery and monetization by not making that article accessible through Safari on iOS.

They are killing the web too.
looks fine on ios safari to me
Yeah, just shows me a full page ad for the iPad app, and tells me their content is now exclusive to their app.

Would be interested to know what causes it to vary...

But yes, a touch of irony there.

Disable Javascript while loading the page and the iPad check wont run. You'd think they'd do the check server-side, but apparently not.
Safari is gonna need support for spoofing headers, all these companies want to get their foot in the door by having you use their app
Download Terra, which lets you spoof headers as FF or whatever you want.
