@kimoo Developer Tools do not remember useragent setting, it is a tool for temporary testing and website debugging.
You should use a user-agent switcher extension.
Test one each if it fit you:

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)
