> We couldn’t ship with the real Safari user agent string disabled, but we came up with the next best thing — automatically enabling it after a certain date.

Does that mean that if you set the date of your computer back before 2003, the user agent will become Internet Explorer?

If you were able to run a copy of Safari version 48, it would probably look like a Gecko-based browser before this date.

v38. You'd not see it with v48.

[donmelton]

My mistake. We turned it off in the final release?

[bdash]

Yup!

But he seems to be saying that the code that enables this is still in Safari.

I suggest you look at the author of the comment to which you replied, and compare his name to the author of the article…

I just tried with Safari 6 on Mountain Lion and it does not.

Obviously this must have been a feature of Safari 1.0

[donmelton]

Yes, only the original version of Safari.
