SOLVED - if you have your Google login language set to English(UK) it doesn't seem to work. If you set it to English(US) it logins

tried in English (US), French and Swedish and the result is the same, I still get "unsupported browser"

I am having the same issue, and it's not a matter of preferred language.
Using Hamsket 0.63, BuildVersion: 32d4407

Edit - addendum: It didn't happen up until I upgraded from 0.62

cee2f08 on the testing branch might fix this. I might upload a one-off pack to dropbox or something for Windows/Linux users who don't want to build themselves. I don't want to commit this to the main branch unless it seems like this is a reasonable approach.

Would you spoon feed us on how to set custom user agent?

[Albirew]

@kngharv edit the service, click on advanced options, then user agent, and paste the useragent you want in "custom user agent" (don't mind the dark theme)

1. Thanks
2. In my case, it didn't work right the way.

I am trying to add google keep as a custom service when I ran into this trouble. I didn't think through, as my google voice service worked without any modification. So, the built-in google voice worked, and my custom-added google keep didn't work. The issue is probably something ESLE.

So, I added custom user agent (my confusion lies upon the GUI, which the advanced tab require the user to click the arrow in the far right instead of the word "advanced" itself, and I have to keep trying to log in and after the 4th try, I was managed to get in.

in other word, this custom user agent modification doesn't work immediately for some reason.

in any case, thank you so much for solving the problem for me.
