Need to change User-Agent to my choice on Android Opera

A web site I want to use refuses to operate because it says I am using Opera and it wants me to use Chrome, Edge or Firefox. I tried setting the Browser Id, in settings to 'Desktop', but that made no difference. On the desktop I can use Opera with no problems on the same site so I can't see that when I switch to 'Desktop Option', on Android Opera, that it is the same as my desktop Opera.

So, in summary, I want to change the User-Agent to my own custom value. How can I do that please since about:config etc. no longer works?

@linuxchico Desktop option will identify you as running Opera on Linux (which is still technically correct as Android is based on Linux). But those of us who actually use Linux on desktop can tell you that some sites will automatically presume we're really running Opera on Android.
