Be sure you really want to do this. It could have unintended consequences.
Some web sites that use browser detection based on the user agent string
might choke. They probably have a "NS or IE" script running, but if your
string is something like "My browser rocks", get ready to see some pretty
wonky output.
You have been warned.
