Upgrade to Default User Agent

Any plans to upgrade the default User Agent used in screen-scraper? Currently it's IE6, and we've been running into a few sites that don't support that browser anymore, so we have to set a custom user agent.

Or perhaps if we could set our own default... no big deal, just a suggestion.

That's a great suggestion.

That's a great suggestion. We're close enough to a public release that we likely won't do it in the next one, but in an early alpha after that expect to see it. I'm anticipating it would just be an option in the "Settings" dialog box so that it would be global to the ss instance.
