od uživatele The Beard Below My Chin, před 8 letyExcellent Add-on.
There are hundreds of these add-ons, they have one goal, same names, similar functionality, and I even found an outdated rip off of this one.
Why choose this over the others? If you want to easily maintain your own list and you don't need an outdated list of 1000s of deprecated browsers, or a pretty interface with big flashy icons. If you want to spoof an agent and have it stick on browser restarts or spoof the agent for a specified website and have it stick or spoof random agents at an interval than this add-on is for you. I have set this up for an old lady so it's not only made for "hackers".
Developer: The interface text size and spacing could at the users discretion be decreased so we can fit more items into view, I'm using the default list and it takes up a lot of room. The icon is ugly! It's identifiable in that I look for the ugly icon. It looks like a box with a small dot in the center, consider increasing the empashis of the 3 "heads?" or making a new icon with out the noise in the background. minimalism is the current trend for a good reason.

Odpověď vývojáře
zveřejněno před 8 letyThanks for your feedback! I don't think changing font size is a good idea, but if you feel like I'm wrong, please open an issue with as many details as possible for this at https://gitlab.com/ntninja/user-agent-switcher/issues/new .
I definitely embrace the idea of adding a more clear-cut icon (although I don't agree that the current one is „ugly“) and already updated the icon of my other extension, Smart Refer, because of this. If you could provide a visual sketch of what you have in mind that would help a lot in making this happen through.

- Hodnocení: 4 z 5od uživatele LS, před 23 dnyID options are outdated browser versions, thus, addon does not work for sites with sensitive "unsupported browser" settings, meaning certain sites will block you.
Either
1. offer up-to-date ID options
2. enable easy "toggle off" or "whitelist" option so I don't have to keep disabling the addon every single time I need to log in to such an abovementioned website. - Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Calico cat, před měsícemWorked like magic to get around the Google Drive "browser no longer supported" road block.

- Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 19829301, před 4 měsíciA good extension is User-Agent Switcher. This extension allows you to change your real device identity to a virtual one. For example, if you can’t access a website from your mobile device because it requires a computer, you can open User-Agent Switcher and select a desktop device type and operating system — and vice versa.

- Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele malau, před 7 měsíciI was whining to Gemini about Google Maps and YouTube being horrendously slow compared to Chromium browsers. It recommended a User Switcher app. I installed this one and HOLY CRAP ! Google Maps in streetview moves at Chrome speed !
- Hodnocení: 1 z 5od uživatele Vykro, před 7 měsíciThis extension does way more harm than good.
While it does seem to do what it claims to be doing, in practice using this is shooting yourself in the foot.
This is because it appears that with this extension active and set to pretend to be a different browser, websites perceive you as a bot.
On a vast amount of websites you will run into an impassable cloudflare captcha verification screen. You try to solve it - it fails and loops back around. It will keep failing until you deactivate this extension.
On youtube, any comments you leave will be automatically shadowbanned. Presumably because it detects you as a spam bot.
So I honestly don't see much point in using this. - Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Ana, před 8 měsíci
- Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Cyberdyne, před 8 měsíciOn the surface, a simple extension. Underneath, a powerful extension that enables you to view websites often in ways that run faster and disable pushing their APP to your phone. I consider it more advanced power user stuff, so I do wish there was a way to simplify things visually for more people to enjoy the advantages here. Maybe even a built-in database of known good user agents per website.

- Hodnocení: 4 z 5od uživatele fgxxr, před 9 měsíciEasy to use (although a bit confusing if you're using it for the first time) and does as advertised.
The only issue I've seen recently is that videos on YouTube stop playing after a few seconds and an unexplained error prevents the video from playing every single time. Disabling this add-on instantly resolved this issue. I will change the rating to a 5-star as soon as I find a way for the addon to work again without this disturbance, or this issue is patched.
