not able to change user agent
-
@kimoo said in not able to change user agent:
Permanently change the user agent
For all web pages or a special one?
-
@DoctorG ok , let's say what about both ?
if i wanted to make for special site
or if i wanted to do for all web pages
but , without extensions -
@kimoo Global for whole browser:
- Create a desktop shortcut to vivaldi.exe
- add at end of target field the paramater
--user-agent="MyBrowser/3.1415926"* - Confirm the shortcut
*change to the one you need
-
@kimoo
For webpagedoes not work
-
@DoctorG could i know what's this ? MyBrowser/3.1415926 ? what why this number ??
-
@kimoo That is a example how sch user-agent could be, has no real effect.
-
@DoctorG i see it worked with me thanks much
but
i need to know how can i change the user agent without it effect the browser speed ? -
@kimoo No worries, such parameter does not affect speed. Or where do you see this?
-
@DoctorG So this dose not effect on how sites handle the site with me ? cause now the facebook appearance changed with me , but i not know if the browser speed is same or not
in from some time i tried to do such with firefox and it was effect the speed of browsing with it -
@kimoo I have no statistics about what reduces speed.
You need to test it yourself.You have the regular Vivaldi desktop shortcut crated after installation and the special with the other useragent.
-
@kimoo You would need to update to the latest version of vivaldi (it is now 6.4 I see from your original post you are only using 5.2)

@DoctorG @LonM
i need to know if i'm able to change the windows version appearance ,
for example i uses windows 7 , i want it appear like windows 8 or 10 , so any browser will detect it as windows 10 ,
How can i do this ?
i was know how from long past but i forgot how to do this -
Beware, using extensions to change the UserAgent doesn't allow Vivaldi to be visible in the worldwide statistics that rank browser usage and would allow Vivaldi to have financial revenues.
So to use Vivaldi to undermine its potential financial revenues is something of a paradox !
The expression is : saw off the branch on which we're sitting. -
@Alleluia actually vivaldi had to drop their user agent time ago, due bad website coding, so is always chromium, and will never appear in stat ranks.

also i want to know if there's a way to make me appear like i surf from another country without i using any vpn or proxy , How can i do this ? even if my real IP will appear to them .
i want the web site think that i came and surfing from another country rather
is there hidden thing i can change in Vivaldi and windows to make such trick ? -
@kimoo Likely won't work. Even if you pretend to be from another country (eg: changing the language) your provider IP stil says where are you form.
So no, no real country change without a VPN or a VPN proxy extension/provider. -

i uses windows 7 , i want it appear like windows 8 or 10 , so any browser will detect it as windows 10 , How can i do this
Just use an User Agent Switcher extension and try a w10 user agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/119.0.0.0 Safari/537.36But would be really better to switch to a supported os (w10 or linux) with vivaldi 6.x
This won't change the fact you are actually using chromium 110/vivaldi 5.2.
Also, if really you have to stick with seven (you shouldn't), you still can update a bit
-
@DoctorG @Hadden89 @LonM @Alleluia
let's say that i didn't changed V user agent , so how Vivaldi detect that i use Windows 7 or as it called Windows NT 6 ??
the Vivaldi detect that i uses Windows 7 from Windows registry ? or from specific INI file ?
i want ( for example ) the Vivaldi detect that i uses Windows 10 or 8 while in truth i uses windows 7 ? -
@kimoo
If you mean the latest vivaldi setups, which won't work with 7, it actually doesn't detect the os. But still you can't pretend to be on 10/11 (8/8.1 is also unsupported!) as it will throw errors being not really compatible. Switch OS or stick to 5.7. I don't see other solutions. -
@kimoo Windows version is fetched from Windows Registry.
