Preflight Checklist

I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

Currently, YouTube Music's User Agent is fixed and cannot be modified by the user. This can lead to limitations in functionality or compatibility with certain features or services that rely on specific User Agent strings.

Proposed Solution

Implement a User Agent editor in the YouTube Music settings menu. This would allow users to customize the User Agent string sent by the application. The editor could include:

A text field for manual input of a custom User Agent string.
A dropdown menu with presets for popular devices and browsers.
An option to reset the User Agent to the default value.

Alternatives Considered

None: Directly editing the User Agent is the most flexible and comprehensive solution.

Additional Information
