Kinda, eww uses url.el to fetch webpages. Url.el has no direct variable to
set the User-agent. But if you set `url-privacy-level' to `paranoid' no User-
agent is sent at all. The function `url-http-user-agent-string' is used to
create the User-agent string. You should be able to override it, to send
whatever User-agent string you prefer. Maybe we should add a variable for the
user agent to make it easier to customize.

Rüdiger
