Looking at Firefox's web inspector, Google sends the same to Firefox too, but then there is XHR POST request to https://accounts.google.com/signin/v2/challenge/totp and this is URL eventually appears in the URL bar. No idea how, it's just magic.

Indeed, I've set "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/604.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/11.0 Safari/604.1" as the user agent string in my Nuvola app for Google Play Music and it works. Does WebKitSettings:enable_site_specific_quirks affect anything else than an user agent string?

Is there any public API to set a different user agent per request? It would be convenient if I could modify user agent quirks without a need to wait for a next WebKitGTK release.
