Modify User Agent #2029

Description

I am aware of the ability to add a suffix to the user agent:

--user-agent-suffix
                Suffix to append to the Lightpanda/X.Y User-Agent

However, for anyone who's moving real existing systems from Chrome headless or other, they probably already have custom user agents set up. In our case, lots of our customers have already whitelisted our own user agent in their bot detection systems so we can serve them.

At the moment, my only option is to inform all the customers that the user agent will be changed, and give them a cut off time (in months) otherwise their systems will not be working as expected anymore - which is really a big challenge for both sides.

Any chance we can get the ability to modify the user agent completely?
