You can change the User Agent string in Dev Tools:

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