Where need to change the user agent? If it is in requests, then you need to specify it in the headers.
To change the country, you need to use a proxy

Code:
headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36'}
proxies = {
'http': 'http://username:password@proxy_ip:port',
'https': 'http://username:password@proxy_ip:port',
}
response = requests.get('https://example.com', headers=headers, proxies=proxies)

I was informed that on a MacBook, in the development and browser identification settings, you can choose a different user agent. Have you ever used this feature?

What do you mean by residential proxies?

why not store the user-agents in an array then loop through them?

I’ve thought about doing this too, but I’m not sure about the implementation. How would you go about setting up the array and looping through the user-agents dynamically?

Why not just use a rotating proxy service? I've had good luck finding decent ones with a quick search.

User agent and country are two separate things, so you need two pieces:
For a Laravel/WordPress testing setup, the easiest combo is Playwright with a per-country proxy and a custom user agent in each browser context. Are you doing this for testing your own sites, or for something like scraping or ad verification? The best setup differs.
- User agent: a browser extension like “User-Agent Switcher”, or Chrome DevTools → More tools → Network conditions → uncheck “Use browser default”. In code, set the header in Playwright/Puppeteer or cURL.
- Country: the user agent doesn’t change it, because sites see your IP. You need a VPN or a proxy with country selection (residential proxies for the most reliable results), plus matching timezone, language and geolocation. DevTools → Sensors can override the last three.
