Change Google Chrome's user-agent

Using this simple method you can change Google Chrome's user-agent (the identification it gives to servers) in under 30 seconds without using any extensions.
Just right click on your Google Chrome shortcut icon, click properties and add:--user-agent="Your user agent" to the end of the target line, so it should look like this:

"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --user-agent="Your user agent"

Obviously, replace Your user agent with the desired user agent string. Close all Chrome windows and then double-click on the icon. Go to http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ to test your new configuration.

If that does not work for you, try this:

Just open notepad and type the following:

Changing the first line to the location of your Chrome installation folder and the Your user agent part to the user agent you want. Now save it as a .bat file. Double-click it and Chrome will start up using the new user-agent string. Again, make sure you close all other Chrome windows before you do this.
