Another way to change the Chromium User Agent

Ya I showed them how to change the User Agent de Chromium editing the .desktop inside the folder / usr / share / applications / but unfortunately, this method only works if we click directly on the access from the menu.

That is, if we open a terminal and put:

$ chromium

This will not load with the option of User Agent modified. So I started looking for something "more global" and trying and trying I found the solution for myself, which may not be ideal, but it works.

We open a terminal and edit the file / etc / chromium / default:

$ sudo nano /etc/chromium/default

Which should have a line inside that says:

CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--password-store=detect"

We leave that line like this:

CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--password-store=detect --user-agent=Debian/Chromium"

And ready. The downside of this method is that we will not see which version of Chromium we have, but nothing, what we want is to show the OS and the Navigator serves us.

    Do you have any idea how to change the User Agent in Konqueror?

      You open Konqueror, you go to:

      Preferences - »Browser identification

      There you can change it, in fact ... I think it allows you to put a UserAgent for site # 1, another DIFFERENT when you browse site # 2, and etc 😀
      Konqueror and Rekonq are really cool 😉

        You're right recently (for the second or third time) I went to KDE and was amazed with rekonq.

          I tried Rekonq the time I used KDE and it is pretty good, but I was not entirely convinced.
