it works for me...

maybe there's something overriding it in ~/.elinks/elinks.conf ...

GenuineAdvantage:
Nope, I tried deleting that too. Did it the first time. I think it might have something to do with the distribution, perhaps it has that disabled. I'll try compiling from source.

H_TeXMeX_H:
Usually it is marked override ... like for firefox it's

user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.4");

put in prefs.js

I've never managed to change it successfully in any other browser except mozilla.

GenuineAdvantage:
I uninstalled elinks and installed from a compile. Same darn thing. Tried changing the root elinks.conf too, nothing. It must be something somewhere else. I notice on that code it's v0.10.6, I am using v.0.11.1, maybe that's the problem?

piratePenguin:
You could search through the code to find where it's set, shouldn't be too hard - search for whatever the user agent's already set to and then change it.
