With this extension, you can quickly and easily switch between user-agent strings. Also, you can set up specific URLs that you want to spoof every time.

Making sense of the user agent string | Blog | bol - Techlab

Back in 2005 I wrote my first user agent analyzer for reporting purposes. It used sequences of rules in a (proprietary) pattern matching language and the first rule that matched was used for the output.
