Implement ability to set user agent and randomize user agent #7

Closed CoolCat467 closed 1 month ago

In this pull request, we implement the ability to set the user agent, as well as implementing the ability to set a random user agent from this list of user agents. I have used this user agent randomization in one of my own projects to scrape google translate responses, and seems to help my program avoid getting timeouts.

Full disclosure, I am submitting this pull request as a part of Hacktoberfest 2024.
