Incredible browser string

So being my first android phone I started playing with apps... There is one that toggles the user agent string in the browser.

I think I messed it up and now show up like a different one (sadly an iPhone).

1. Is there a way I can manually change it back?

And

2. Can someone post the proper string?

it's the same on mine and i haven't changed anything.

i guess you are looking at the AppleWebKit part. it's also in Google Chrome and Safari since that's the layout engine used in those browsers. mozilla (firefox, seamonkey etc) uses Gecko hence the "like Gecko" part. KHTML was developed for use in Konqueror and webkit was forked from that.

Thanks. Wasn't sure if it frakked up my browser. Uninstalling now.

Pretty much I noticed that the error screen on hulu is the same one you get when a browser is not supported. Especially since the initial ad plays.

I wanted to try to spoof a desktop browser.

Thanks.
