    Dim webBrowser1 As Object
    webBrowser1 = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    webBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.example.org", Nothing, Nothing, "User-Agent: blabla")

What is the correct way to do that ?

You create a System.Net.Webclient instead and give it the wanted headers.

Imports System.Net

Module Module1
    Sub Main()


        ' Resource acquisition statement.
        Using client As New WebClient
            ' Set one of the headers.
            client.Headers("User-Agent") = "Mozilla/4.0"

            ' Download data as byte array.
            Dim arr() As Byte = client.DownloadData("http://www.dotnetperls.com/")

            ' Display result.
            Console.WriteLine(arr.Length)
        End Using
    End Sub
End Module
