How to change User-Agent via UA.ini

Post by gdv »

The Chrome vs Iron webpage states that "The User-Agent in Iron can be flexible and permanently changed by UA.ini," but I have been unable to locate a UA.ini file or any information about how to do this. Can anyone tell me how, or point me in the right direction?

Thanks! :)

Just create a file called UA.ini via texteditor in the Iron-Directory and put in your favorite Userstring.

OK, thanks!

But just to be clear, do you mean the following User Settings folder?:
  • C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Chromium\User Data
If not, would you please specify exactly which folder?

BTW, is this info documented anywhere?

Thanks! :)

Just like the adblock.ini file, any UA.ini file you create will be overwritten the next time you update(or down date for that matter).
So, KEEP a good COPY it somewhere so that you can replace it without having to start over again.
Here again, maybe the developers will soon realize it 'needs' to be in the Profile(s)!
