self.initialUrl = 'http://www.bing.com'

You would just need to load a QWebEngineHttpRequest with the modified user agent header instead of a url

for example

from PySide6.QtWebEngineCore import QWebEngineHttpRequest


self.webEngineView = QWebEngineView()
self.initialUrl = 'http://www.bing.com'


user_agent = b"Mozilla/5.0 (Android 7.0; Mobile; rv:54.0) Gecko/54.0 Firefox/54.0"
request = QWebEngineHttpRequest()
request.setUrl(self.initialUrl)
request.setHeader(b'user-agent',user_agent)


self.webEngineView.load(request)
self.right_bottom_layout.addWidget(self.webEngineView, 0, 0)

Or also [`setHttpUserAgent()`](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qwebengineprofile.html#setHttpUserAgent). – musicamante Jun 28 '22 at 13:07
@musicamante I didn't even know that existed good call – Alexander Jun 28 '22 at 18:05
@musicamante you might want to add that as an alternate answer, I am not familiar with how the WebEngineProfile works. – Alexander Jun 28 '22 at 18:15
