Hi Phil
thanks for your reply.
I do not want to reinvent/recompile a browser only to modify a literal.
For me the solution is to get it configurable (by gui or config text file).
I have seen a "wish list" for needed UT apps. There was a scope for
slack.com.
Imagine we had a configurable (e.g.: radio button from predefined strings):
Your effort for twitter as the effort needed for the slack scope could
be user for other needs...
Best regards
Hans

Hello,
Is there a possibility to change the user agent the web
browser on UT
sends to sites?
E.G. slack.com does not support UT. When opening the site, I
have no
access to channels.
If I can say "i am a desktop", the displayed data would be
the same as
on PC. This is ok on a Meizu 5 PRO.

I don't think you can do this from the browser settings, however if you create a new web
app (and, I guess, you could create a whole general browser by not putting a URL pattern
restriction in) you can specify the user agent. For example I created a
"full-fat" app to access the Twitter site, as certain functions are
restricted/.blocked on the mobile site, my app's Exec line set up a desktop agent to
send:-
Exec=webapp-container --enable-back-forward --store-session-cookies
--user-agent-string="Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Ubuntu) AppleWebKit/537.36
Chromium/35.0.1870.2 Safari/537.36"
--webappUrlPatterns=https?://*.twitter.com/*,https?://twitter.com/* http://twitter.com %u
You could then package this as a click package and then manually install it on
your device
