Hello
Im running OsX and I would like to know how to hide my browser headers.

I would like to do this for Safari and Firefox without having to install 2 programs and or extensions.
 
NO Browser headers

This crap (there are programs that can block this but they are for windows, i need a mac version.)

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

which reveils what op and browser im using.

Symantec has tools but not for mac

go to grc.com to find out more
 
You don't see it, its transparent and is sent everytime you go to a website..

Too see what your browser is sending go to http://www.grc.com/default.htm

scrool down and look for the red link which says ShieldsUP! (its between SpinRite 6.0 and LeakTest) then click the shieldsup link.

click the grey proced button on the next page

look at where it says ShieldsUP!! Services and click browser headers on the far right

after clicking it will expose what information or Browser heads your are exposing. This is what I want to hide, you can do it on windows but im not sure how to do it on macintosh,, can someone please help me

thank you
 
OmniWeb has a facility to send different browser strings. But that's only for that browser, of course.
 
Safari's debug menu allows you to use a different header:

Code: 
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en

:D

Theoretically you could use the command line to set this permanently, via the defaults command?
