Changing user agents in your web browser can help you test how a website behaves for different devices or browsers. Here’s a quick guide on how to change user agents in Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox.

 How to Change User Agents in Chrome

1. Open Developer Tools: Press `Ctrl+Shift+I` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd+Option+I` (Mac) to open Developer Tools.

2. Navigate to Network Conditions: Click on the three vertical dots in the top-right corner of the Developer Tools section, go to `More tools`, and then select `Network conditions`.

3. Change User Agent: Uncheck `Select automatically` under the User agent section and choose from a predefined list or enter a custom user agent string.

 How to Change User Agents in Edge

1. Open Developer Tools: Press `F12` or `Ctrl+Shift+I` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd+Option+I` (Mac) to open Developer Tools.

2. Open Network Conditions: Click on the three-dot menu icon in the Developer Tools pane, navigate to `More tools`, and select `Network conditions`.

3. Change User Agent: Uncheck `Select automatically` under the User agent section and either choose from a dropdown list or enter your desired user agent.

 How to Change User Agents in Safari

1. Enable Developer Menu: Go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced and check the box that says “Show Develop menu in menu bar.”

2. Open Develop Menu: Once enabled, click on the “Develop” menu at the top of your screen.

3. Change User Agent: Under the “Develop” menu, navigate to “User Agent” and select from predefined options or add a custom user agent.

 How to Change User Agents in Firefox

1. Open Developer Tools: Press `Ctrl+Shift+M` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd+Option+M` (Mac) to enter Responsive Design Mode.

2. Change User Agent Mode: In Responsive Design Mode, click on the network throttling dropdown–you’ll find “No Throttling” by default–and select “Edit list”.

3. Custom User Agent String: There isn’t a direct field for entering custom user agents here, so you’ll need an extension like “User-Agent Switcher” for a customizable experience.

Each browser has its way of changing user agents, but these methods should set you up for testing websites with various user scenarios effectively.
