What would you like?

An official npm support plugin that rewrites the electron user agent to appear more chrome like and avoid blocked requests based on the user agent string.

Why is this needed?

Certain authentication providers 403/block requests coming from Electron user agents based of the User-Agent header in the request. Currently, for MacOS devices, the user agent for Cypress Electron looks something like :

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Cypress/0.0.0-development Chrome/100.0.4896.75 Electron/18.0.4 Safari/537.36

Ideally, we want the user agent to read as Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/100.0.4896.75 Safari/537.36 when this support plugin is installed to prevent 403s/block requests

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#22958, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.
