You did not read well.

 

Sets the HTTP user-agent string which is sent with all Inet requests.  like InetGet...

I think*   you can use WinHttp instead _IE function.

I have just looked at the IE UDF and cannot find any function which changes the User-agent of the browser instance . I am afraid that you would have to use an alternate method to achieve your goal.

You can also override certain tokens of the user-agent string by adding values to the following registry key.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (or HKEY_CURRENT_USER)
   SOFTWARE
      Microsoft
         Windows
            CurrentVersion
               Internet Settings
                  5.0
                     User Agent
                        (default) = "Mozilla/4.0"
                        Compatible = "compatible"
                        Platform = "Windows NT 5.1"
                        Version = "MSIE 6.0"
                        Pre Platform
                           Token = Value
                        Post Platform
                           Token = Value

@mLipok It changes the user agent for ALL of the browser instances, not just only the object... Although @sayuto can use this approach in extreme case scenario where there is no other option!

Try to follow each links I posted - also this new ones

Just looked at all of them, they only contain information about the default user-agent and something about parsing user-agent string etc etc... If you are talking about the object.userAgent property, it only returns the current user-agent you cannot change it.

How you understand this statement:

Internet Explorer 10 introduced the ability for the downloaded Compatibility View List to specify arbitrary UA strings on a per-site basis, to handle cases where a given website only works with a particular UA string. 

 

 

??

Oh, I did not read the text thoroughly, just a glance... But it says per site, still effects the whole browser.

it is not feasible
I've tried it before posting this article
although the value has changed, but the user agent is used in the browser remains unchanged
