macintoshzoom -> opera-users at opera.com @ Saturday 03 May 2008:

ma> 1) HOW to Hide completely (blank and/or custom fake) the Opera user-agent
 header? ma>
ma> 2) HOW to Hide completely the user-agent header ALSO in HTTPS browsing?
ma>
ma> I,m using Opera 9.27 (linux static) on an Openbsd box, using linux
 emulation. ma> I want to set up an absolutely ANONYMOUS browsing setting
 (preferably easily switchable, or I will create a specific Opera
 profile/directory for this kind of browsing). ma> I dont want to give
 websites/hackers any clue on my system.

You can edit opera binary executable file (/sr/lib/opera/9.5-<date>/opera) 
using hex editor (e.g. hexcurse) and change one of user agent presets to your 
own value. But make sure that new line is shorter than line you editing, 
zero-byte (0x00) indicates end of string.

Hint: look for string "MSIE" to easily locate position of User-Agent string 
templates.

And don't forget to make a backup!
