Neowin has also discovered that IE11 will include new code which tells the host website that IE is, in fact, Firefox.

Yeah but this is a pre-release build they are talking about.  No guarantee this will make it into the final release.  My guess is that Microsoft wants to see what information websites sends to Firefox for compatibility.  If this issue made it into the final build then I would wondering, but this is a non-issue... right now.

Chrome is the browser, other than IE, that is stable on my computer.  It works much better than IE, but there are a couple of features it lacks.

The user-agent string for Internet Explorer 11 is shorter than previous versions and has some interesting changes:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Trident/7.0; rv 11.0) like Gecko

I'll be willing to discuss it further when it's the final version.  This does raise eyebrows though...
