Bnodon ProjukT (ID: 000000590784a981) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/03/2022 i really wanted to use it, cause it's extremely user friendly but the custom option in this extension doesn't work properly. when i change 'Win64; x64' to 'Win32; x32' and refresh the page (in vlc media download site) it stil shows the 64bit download, where in "User-Agent Switcher" extension it works perfectly fine. and when i select 'phone -> android -> chrome' and refresh the page (in windows iso download page) it doesn't shows the iso download link as it shows in the android.
