Hello, So I completed this challenge using an addon (no spoiler), but I got something from stackoverflow. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1307013/mocking-a-useragent-in-javascript (See the first accepted answer). I tried this on scratchpad and pressed Ctrl+R. It showed me secure_user_agent in the popup, but when I refresh or go to another site and come back, it doesn’t show challenge completed!! Can anyone help me out in understanding as to why this is happening!!

You should ask these kinds of questions on the solution board to avoid risking spoiling things, I’d say.

That said, doing it like that would only change it temporarily for the JS executing on that page at that time. Going to any other page or refreshing discards such changes. It is also not something that would normally be sent to the server when making requests, so it is pretty useless outside the context of that SO question.

Okay, thanks!! Makes sense by the way(whatever I am doing is happening locally). Also from next time, I shall make sure not to post in forums but in solutions section.
