Change Google Chrome’s User Agent String:

No patching is necessary. Just open up your Chrome shortcut and append the switch
-user-agent=”Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)”

For example I am using Internet Explorer 8 in Windows XP. I am using latest stable version of Google Chrome, v2.0.172.x My IE user agent is

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0)

My shortcut to Google Chrome shows the following:

"C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\\chrome.exe"

I add the option switch and user agent, and it becomes

"C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\\chrome.exe" --user-agent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0)"
