Why this will help you in any way? The important things in the UA string are just two: The "Mozilla/5.0" part and the "AppleWebKit" one, checked by 99% of sites checking UAs. Some of them (usually, the ones providing CSS3 or HTML5 features) check also WebKit release number, that actually is 534.34. Two different rekonq versions (let's say rekonq 0.8 and rekonq 0.9) provided against the same qtwebkit lib will do exactly the same rendering, so again: why do you need rekonq version number in the UA string? It doesn't conform to convention of other browsers, i.e., appname/appversion. See Mozilla's user agent string spec: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko_user_agent_string_reference Web analytics apps like Piwik that expect the UA to identify itself using this convention will instead detect rekonq as Safari.
