Introduction

You can set a custom user agent in the Network Overrides Pane.

If for example, a website changes its behaviour based on the user agent (a practice still used across the web today), you can debug such behaviour by setting a custom user agent.

How to enable it

1. Select Show Network Conditions in the Command Palette (use Cmd + Shift + P to open)
2. Uncheck Select automatically in the User Agent section
3. Enter your custom user agent / or select from the predefined list of user agents
