Unfortunately, Vivaldi has one of the most unique "fingerprints" of any browser...Is there a user agent switcher in Vivaldi?

I've had "User-Agent Switcher for Chrome" installed for a couple of years, but have not felt a need to use it for a long time in V.

Am i misunderstanding the intended effect of the spoofer, or else maybe i'm misusing it...?
