@pathduck: anyway, UA spoofing is such a basic feature and easy to understand, that I really don't know why it shouldn't be possible to set it as we like it: Vivaldi is all about customisation, so I don't see why we should all pretend to be Chrome. We should be given the choice to appear online as we like.
I spent all my browsing life manually spoofing UA: I really could switch to Firefox, for this reason.
Follow Vivaldi's progress and be one of the first to try our new features.

@ruario: A little tangent:
I actually like to break the web for myself, that's why I've set a custom user agent in one of my profiles - making fingerprinting easy that way - and disabled JS in that profile globally and such making the usual fingerprinting impossible
Additional benefits:
(Almost) No Ads.
Sites load blazingly fast (if they load at all)
The surface for malware attacks is reduced by >90% (>90% of malware attacks via websites need JS)
Apart from that:
If a user deliberately "breaks the web" for himself, he is responsible for the breakage and should know how to repair it again.
