Edge Chromium Switches User Agents
HotCakeX I think that it is a smart move, too. Because Edge Chromium is not a released browser, UA switching is probably the best (maybe the only) way to tune Edge Chromium for specific websites.
The method now used is cumbersome, though, dependent on pointing Edge Chromium to a manual list of domains and policies setting UA for each of the domains where Edge Chromium reports as either Edge (e.g. domain":"netflix.com","applied_policy":"EdgeUA") or Chrome (e.g. "domain":"facebook.com","applied_policy":"ChromeUA").
Whether that method will be replaced/superseded with something less manual as development moves forward, I don't know.
I don't have much occasion to switch UA's, but Firefox has a User-Agent Switcher add-on that I've used a few times when working in the Linux environment. It is primarily a developer tool, though, not for the likes of me.
there is an add-on usable on both chrome and the new Edge, works like a charm.
