Re: [Lynx-dev] Alternative User-Agent header

[Karen Lewellen]

I am personally of two minds here.
First, I understand why the option cannot be saved for good, there are so 
many places where you might find extra problems looking sort of like a 
hacker sending  such a user agent, or so it seems.
what I would personally appreciate though is a way to say  switch to an 
alternative user agent, providing lynx with more than one to choose from 
if that makes sense.
Cloudflare is adding more and more problems, some of their settings allow 
for lynx, some do not, and that service can track by ip address.
Building in a way to access more than one user agent seems to create the 
best of both worlds.
