Feature request: Windows User Agent for Falkon

[jurajoravec at netc.it]

Hello,


sorry foe maulformed html mail.



How to add a Windows User Agent on Falkon?

You find a user-agent you want to use and paste it into the dialog.



Example:

FInd a user agent

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/134.0.0.0 Safari/537.3





Go to [Preferences > Other > User Agent Manager]



Go to global user agent field, paste the useragent and save.



OR



Check [x] Use different user agent for sites.

Press Add.

Write the site hostname

Paste the user agent into the UserAgent field and save.





The feature request to add windows user agents seems logical, I will create a bugreport for it and probably implement it for a winter release (?).

All you can do now is to fill it manualy.



Thank you.

Hi

I'm on Arch Linux KDE on PC.

I made the video game Battlefield 3 via Steam Proton Experimental working:

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Battlefield_3#Play_the_game_without_Origin
https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Battlefield_3#Origin_error_-_.22Could_not_activate.22


Chromium (default web browser):
User-Agent Switcher and Manager https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/user-agent-switcher-and-m/bhchdcejhohfmigjafbampogmaanbfkg installed
User Agent selected: Chrome 136.0.7103.48 Windows 10

Steam:
PLAY EALauncher.exe
Battlefield 3
PLAY
it launches https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3 on Chromium
e.g. CAMPAIGN, LAUNCH CAMPAIGN, it launches Battlefield 3 !


The User Agent step is needed, otherwise:

Unable to launch the game from this device

Please check that you fulfil all of these requirements:

x Windows Vista or later
✓ Compatible 32-bit (not 64-bit) Web Browser


The issue: I obviously prefer Falkon than Chromium, but:

Falkon, Preferences, Other, User Agent Manager, Use different User Agents for specified sites, Add,
Site domain: https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3
User Agent: no Windows User Agent available...


So the feature request?
How to add a Windows User Agent on Falkon?
What is the location of the User Agents of Falkon?

I googled without success:

falkon windows user agent
falkon user agent location


Thanks.
