How else would they ID a browser? The site I have personally had problems with (I've posted about it here a few times already) apparently identifies the browser with some really slick trick, since it goes out as hidden data in the POST for the login.
Untested Code from my archives:
<script> document.write(navigator.appCodeName+"<br>"); document.write(navigator.appName+"<br>"); document.write(navigator.appVersion+"<br>"); document.write(navigator.userAgent+"<br>"); </script>
When I fake my browserID with mozilla via Prefbar-extension, one of the lines above gives the faked ID, while the other one _always_ says "Mozilla". Tested just on a macintosh.

Netscape 4.x's code name *is* Mozilla. That is where the name for Mozilla came from...
The other way to do a browser check[actually the 'proper' way] is to check whether the browser supports document.layers or document.all or some other [obsolete] capability that you plan on using.
