[Suggestion] Add user agent switcher to the Steam Browser

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
When I open the Steam Browser, the user agent of the browser is the Valve Steam Gamepad, which obviously has its quirks. The main issue that I have is that I cannot open Battlefield 3 in Gaming mode because it opens the server browser in an actual browser, in Gaming Mode that is the Steam Browser, and when I try to join a game it's telling me to run Windows. If I could just change the user agent of the Steam Browser to a Windows machine I'd get Battlefield 3 running without any issues (In Desktop mode the game runs perfect)
It should be fairly easy to implement because as far as I understand the Steam Browser runs on Chromium, and Chromium has a built in user agent switcher.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
- Open Steam Browser
- Check User Agent.
