Its not working on Google Scholar. Need the mobile view of google scholar search hits pages and mobile view of each individual abstract page of those search hits. Kindly look into this. Its one of the most frequent use cases for academics.
Gets the job almost done, i cant seems to chose my own permanent agent spoof option...it would get 5 stars if i could..please update this a little, im so happy to spoof the Edge browser string in Chrome.
No OS options for Chrome. navigator.userAgent still returns the real agent. Doesn't help for testing.
