Hi
I hacked together a small patch to quickly change the useragent of
vimprobable. It's based on my old quickmark-code and works like this:
w{1..9} sets the respective line in USERAGENT_FILE as the new useragent.
It's not a very elegant solution at the moment but given there's enough
interest I'd do do a more cleaner version.
One problem is that the default browser needs to be in USERAGENT_FILE.
I often change my useragent for various reasons, so this feature is pretty
handy (for me). For example, one problem I recently ran into was the login
page of paypal.com that didn't render correctly until I changed the
useragent to that of Safari.
Using the useragent of an IOS device can also be really useful, as you
get the - sometimes hidden - mobile version of a web page, which often
'sucks less'.
