The tip and lots of discussion on the newer version of Iris have been in 
threads on the ROOL forums.

The tip for Google search was create a new User Agent in the Choices with 
Iris as below:

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Firefox/96.0; RISC OS 5.31)

But you might be better just getting the newer version of Iris with lots 
of improvements.

If you use the default home page with Iris, there is a link on it to get 
Iris updates.

There are now two versions you can download, the standard version 
installed as normal, or another version that will merge in effect the 
!Sharedlibs from Iris with the other SharedLibs with !Boot.

Note, work has been taking place so it can also be installed via Packman 
soon.

Note ROD will be soon release another update to Iris and hopefully more 
often.
