Here are some instructions in case you are inclined to give it a try. You know, for research purposes. You can fill the blank in with this:

 Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/119.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

The first part of the Chrome user agent being "Mozilla" always amuses me.
