User-agent faking

Twitter.com no longer displays in Netsurf, saying "This browser is no
longer supported". Until recently it allowed access to a legacy desktop
layout, but no more.

Can the user-agent string be faked in Netsurf to allow it to display
Twitter pages? Perhaps just temporarily?

This page
https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/twitter-supported-browsers
suggests Twitter is using the user-agent string to identify the client
browser (then deny access)

The code that produces it seems to be useragent.c ;
