DevTools: Customise Your User Agent


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

Predefined list

In case you are interested, here's a sample list of some predefined user agent types you can select from.

  • Android (4.0.2) Browser — Galaxy Nexus
  • Android (2.3) Browser — Nexus S
  • BlackBerry — BB10
  • BlackBerry — PlayBook 2.1
  • BlackBerry — 9900
  • Chrome — Android Mobile
  • Chrome — Android Mobile (high-end)
  • Chrome — Android Tablet
  • Chrome — iPhone
