I needed to do it for Chrome, and needed to set a specific string (not fitting as platform, browser or version) for Googlebot.

    // import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;

    ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
    options.addArguments("user-agent=\"Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)\"");
    new ChromeDriver(options);
