📄 Description

I've added a new config section that allows a user to choose between Lynx (The current workaround), Random (The Original method), or the ability to enter a custom User Agent String (in the event that Google decides to play whack-a-mole and kill the Lynx workaround, it's easier to choose a different user agent instead of rebuilding)
