Changing the User-Agent's Name
This setting lets you determine the browser type that the Web Inspector agent uses to identify itself to your website. When making a request to download pages in order to scan them, Web Inspector identifies itself in much the same way that a regular browser identifies itself. In some cases, websites present different content based on the type of browser/user-agent that is making the request. By default, the Web Inspector agent identifies itself as ‘Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0)’. This setting covers the vast majority of browsers that your website visitors will use to visit your site. Therefore, Web Inspector is requesting, receiving and analyzing the precise content that your viewers see.
