I have hide user agent installed and it works fair well.

However i would like to have 3 or 4 user agent strings stored and be able to switch among them in microb like i do in my desktop firefox browser.

After some search i found this thread:

http://browser-extras.garage.maemo.org/news/8/

relative to a port of user agent switcher to microb (chinook i think).

Has anyone tested this port in maemo5 or is there any agent switcher add-on available for N900 microb ??

Thanks

This thread would probably be better in the Maemo 5 area or maybe the Applications area.

But here's something to consider in the meantime: is it really the best approach to switch user agents? Consider these possibly-less-clumsy alternatives:
  • Find a URL that has the desired site behavior. For example, if you want the iPod version of Facebook, go to touch.facebook.com. See the "Mobile-friendly URLs..." link in my signature for lots of these (and feel free to add your own).
  • Switch browsers. MicroB will typically access the "full version" of the site, but Opera Mobile is sometimes recognized as a user agent that triggers the mobile version of a site.

You are wright. I should have chosen Maemo 5 area. My mistake.

Thanks for your suggestions but i still would like to have a multi user agent available for microb.

Using Queen BeeCon Widget i have created a set of 4 icons to switch microb user agent on the fly.



To change the active microb user agent just touch the respective icon. The current user agent is shown by the red color of the icon.

The user agent can be switched either with microb running or not running.

The current user agent strings are:

UA-N900 - "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux armv7l; en-GB; rv:1.9.2b6pre) Gecko/20100318 Firefox/3.5 Maemo Browser 1.7.4.8 RX-51 N900"

UA-Iphone - "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/528.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile/7C97d Safari/528.16"

UA-Null - ""

UA.Droid - "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.1; en-us; dream) AppleWebKit/525.10+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.4 Mobile Safari/523.12.2"

Other user agent strings may be configured.

More info about this and install guide see this post
