Common Methods for modifying User-Agent in browsers

We have previously introduced the collection of several mobile platform browsers, as well as the simple method to modify the User Agent in Chrome, but sometimes other browsers will be used to disguise the User Agent. Today, I sorted out the following common methods for modifying the User-agent disguise in browsers:

• Modify the User-agent and registry in IE

Location of the User-Agent in the Registry
Under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ User-Agent \ Post Platform], create a new string value with left blank content, the name of the character you want to add to the User-Agent. The following uses "motorolarokre2" as an example. Modify the REG file corresponding to the Registry as follows:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ User-Agent \ Post Platform]
"Repeated larokre2" = ""

After modification, restart IE.

The user-agent value of IE. The following is a combination of the following addresses + some default values
HKCU \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ User-Agent \ Post Platform
HKLM \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ User-Agent \ Post Platform
HKLM \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ 5.0 \ User-Agent \ Post Platform
