User-Agent Switcher and Manager Extension

Usage example: You can alter your user-agent string to indicate you?re on a mobile device if you prefer seeing mobile versions of sites so they load quicker.

--

This extension allows you to spoof your browser \"user-agent\" string to a custom designation, making it impossible for websites to know specific details about your browsing arrangement.

Notes:
1. You can easily set custom \"user-agent\" strings from the toolbar popup
2. The extension uses a two-factor technique to mimic your default \"user-agent\" string, which is the most reliable method
3. The extension does not use any resources when it is not spoofing the user-agent
4. The extension enables user-agent spoofing on specific domains only; it is conversely possible to exclude certain domains from spoofing. Check the Options page for more info.
5. You can set per-site user-agent strings
6. There is an option to randomize user-agent strings.
7. It is possible to set user-agent string for a single window; you can have a separate user-agent string for each browser window

Dream of Omnimaga (ID: 000000adb075b1f2) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/02/2023 It doesn't work all the time. I just tried logging in on Twitch in Chrome and got an error about unsupported browser even though I had the latest version. So I switched my user agent to Firefox and I still would get the login error. Same with switching to Safari user agent.
