You can change the User Agent string in Dev Tools:

  1. Open Developer Tools (F12)
    Developer Tools
  2. Show the Console Drawer at the bottom by hitting Esc
    Console Drawer
  3. Add the Network Conditions tab to the drawer
    Network Conditions
  4. Under User Agent, uncheck "Select automatically", and pick a browser you wish to emulate or customize the string however you'd like
    User Agent
