User-Agent value not appended #44

To whoever is maintaining this repository,

I noticed that the user agent value is currently not appended after installing autochrome. As the last release and activity seems to be 1-2 years ago, i was wondering if:

I could fork out your repository (of course i will credit you guys as the original authors in my repository)
Make modifications to the source code to solve the issue.

Let me know if this works, thanks!

Noticed this aswell and looked into it. From the looks of the Chrome extension , the "profile colour" is picked from a bookmark. I never noticed this. I tried creating a bookmark to bootstrap this myself, as Autochrome did not do it properly upon reinstall, but creating a bookmark actually crashes the Chromium processes. I didn't look into why, but the User-Agent will not work until bookmarks start working again.

Hi @baesenseii. Try PR #45, it should fix your issue. You will unfortunately have to have all profiles re-installed, which will wipe all your current profile settings (Extensions, saved passwords, etc.)

You can do this with $ ruby autochrome.rb -P.
