Use the --user-agent switch at the command line. The easiest way is to duplicate the shortcut in your Start Menu, right-click the copy, click properties, and in the "Target:" field, append '--user-agent=""' (w/o the '') at the end, rename your icon, and voila. For example, mine is: "C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --user-agent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)" I have to do this because my company only allows IE6 to access the proxy. Anyway, enjoy. This has changed in the latest beta version of Google Chrome (I’m running 0.3.154.9). Use the –user-agent switch at the command line.
