Setting the user agent

I'm not sure about this, but is it even technically possible to set the user agent when using the Chrome extension? At the moment it always says "chrome" as user agent. I worked around this by accepting a custom header as user agent in my API, so it's not a big problem for me. But would be nice if it worked "out of the box".

An easy way to configure the user-agent would be using the server proxy. We could add a parameter to configure this server-side.

Would this be enough or does it need to be the extension?

I work with different development/system environments. One works indeed, if I just use the server proxy 👍

Unfortunately for the other environment I set the hostname in my local hosts file. The server that runs the docker container doesn't know of that hostname. My teammates use the same hostname but with different IPs in their own local hosts files. This environment works only with the extension proxy.
I get the following error when I switch to server proxy:
Failed to resolve '...' and search domain query for configured domains failed as well: [...]

What do you mean by configuring the user-agent server-side? With server or extension proxy enabled?
