Under URL Prefs in the Settings window, you can enter a url pattern, then select specific features for that site. One of them is the spoofing option.

Unfortunately because the way IBrowse does spoofing, it still won't work with my online bank account.

One thing I'll say about IBrowse 2.3, it's very fast at loading tables. I'd gotten somewhat used to Voyager's method of click on a link to a large table, and go make a sandwich while it renders the thing.

The only problem I've seen so far is that IBrowse uses the default font rather than the fixed-width font for rendering
 tags. Normally that's not a big deal, but I can't use IBrowse to look at text maps I frequently refer to for a role-playing game.  Any IBrowse experts know how to configure around this without using a fixed-width font as the default?

Voyager's spoofing works, and fools most sites into believing they're being accessed by Mozilla rather than by an Amiga browser.

Voyager spoofs with "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Win98)". It also allows the spoof string to be user-configured.

IBrowse uses "Mozilla/4.5 [en] (Win98; I) (Compatible IBrowse/2.0 (AmigaOS 3.1))" which is hardcoded and gives away the fact that it ain't really Mozilla, and some sites require more to be convinced.
