Description Nezmer 2009-05-31 11:00:30 UTC 
It would be great If the user can change the useragent in his browser from the default .

The default in this machine :
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-us) AppleWebKit/528.5+ (KHTML, like Gecko, Safari/528.5+) epiphany
Comment 1 Xan Lopez 2009-07-01 07:09:22 UTC 
When https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17375 is fixed an extension can be written to do this, but it won't be a default feature of Epiphany.
Comment 2 Sven Arvidsson 2009-09-25 21:54:02 UTC 
Just a note to any future extension writers: Having this work on a per site basis would be great, as I imagine this is only needed for a few, unlikely to change websites.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2013-05-27 16:09:09 UTC 
According to its developer, epiphany-extensions is not under active development
anymore. (For reference: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2013-May/msg00035.html and bug 700924.)

It is unlikely that there will be any further active development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping - Please feel
free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility
for active development again.
