+### WebView UserAgent Example
+
+This project demonstrates how to set a custom User-Agent string in webview_go.
+
+It builds a simple Go application that shows the current User-Agent in the UI and verifies that it matches the value defined in the source code.
+
+Requirements
+Go 1.18+
+C compiler (clang/gcc)
+Linux:
+libgtk-3-dev
+libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev
+macOS: no additional dependencies
+
+### Build 
+
+chmod +x build.sh
+./build.sh
+
+This will:
+	1.	Install necessary dependencies (on Linux).
+	2.	Compile main.go into an executable webview_app.
+
+### Run 
+
+./webview_app
+
+Expected behavior
+
+When the application runs:
+	•	A window will open with:
+	•	A UserAgent section showing the custom value (e.g. MyCustomUserAgent/1.0).
+	•	A button and counter to demonstrate bindings.
+
+If you see your custom User-Agent displayed in the window, the implementation is correct
+
+Troubleshooting
+
+Linux:
+1. Error: webkit2/webkit2.h: No such file or directory
+-> Install missing GTK/WebKit dependencies:
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install -y libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev
+
+2. Error: pkg-config not found
+-> Install pkg-config:
+sudo apt-get install -y pkg-config
+
+3. Blank window / crash on startup
+-> Ensure you are running inside a desktop environment with GTK/WebKit support.
+-> On minimal VMs, install ubuntu-desktop or run inside an X11 session.
+
+MacOS:
+1. Error: ld: framework not found WebKit
+-> Ensure you use clang (not gcc) when compiling.
+-> Go automatically links against Cocoa/WebKit frameworks, so usually no manual fix is required.
+
+2. Window opens but is empty
+-> Sometimes macOS blocks WebKit initialization in sandboxed terminals. Try:
+open ./webview_test
+
+3. Custom UserAgent not applied
+-> Make sure you call w.SetUserAgent("MyCustomUserAgent/1.0") before w.Navigate(...) or w.SetHtml(...)
+
