You know, this really pisses me off...

Sorry, but in order to enjoy the Movielink service you must use Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher, which supports certain technologies we utilize for downloading movies. Click here to get the latest version of Internet Explorer.

We do not anticipate supporting Mozilla or Netscape in the near future.

This really pisses me off. So I have to give in to Microsoft's evilness in order to rent a goddamned virtual movie? Ridiculous.

Does anybody know of any way to fool sites into thinking I'm using IE? And don't say to actually use IE, because I will virtually smack you silly.

Sorry, I can't check out the Movielink site because it redirects me to some page that tells me Movielink does not serve areas outside of the United States.

Anyways, you might try using the Avant Browser. It's has some nice features such as built in Pop-Up blocker, Tabbed Browsing, etc.. I use it and it works great, it's fully IE compatible, and it might be a good alternitive to try:
http://www.avantbrowser.com/

PS: It's free to download and use, and no Spyware or Adware packaged with it.

Presumably, you're using Mozilla, in which case, try http://prefbar.mozdev.org/ which makes it easy to spoof yourself as MSIE. You can also modify the string directly if you pount your browser to about:config.   (I would have made this a link, but YABBSE insisits on sticking http: in front...)

Opera has spoofing by default.

You can easily change the string your browser uses as the User Agent in Opera (by default) and Firefox (using an extension) and probably Mozilla but I don't know how in that.

Here's the Firefox extension: http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/useragentswitcher

The site probably won't work anyway, but it's worth a try.

Esseb was faster with the extension, but I have something to add: nobody ought to use AvantBrowser, it's nothing but an IE wrapper. Which means it may have better usability than IE by itself, but is every bit as obsolete and insecure. Avoid.

Awww crap.. well, thanks for the info. I thought Advant was a stand-alone browser. But checking into it more, I guess you're right that it's really IE in a "wrapper", though it's a nice wrapper with some better features than IE in it's raw    Oh well, perhaps time to go lookng for some better alternatives again.
