by Firefox user 14782204, 6 years agoI really like this addon because it also has a good wiki with recommendation regarding the avaiable settings in this addons.
However I have two questions for which I did not found a clear answer:
1. In the Header -> Referer section of the wiki it is noted that two options should not be set in about:config. I assume that setting these options in the user.js is also problematic?
2. If these options are modified (in about:config or user.js) how does this negatively affect the addon?
Edit: Thanks to the developer for the fast answer.

posted 6 years ago1. Yes, settings those options in the user.js file is also problematic.
2. The options for managing the headers are a workaround for the existing functionality in Firefox. There isn't a way to toggle those settings using the APIs available. If a user changes those options in their preferences, it may prevent Chameleon from setting the header values properly. Firefox modifies the headers before Chameleon can.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14158621, 6 hours agoIn a world where everything is spying on everyone; having chameleon to spoof your browser is invaluable!
Right now, the biggest problem with this add-on is that it tends to not always work well on some websites, so I haven't used it as much as I would've liked. For example, it causes problems on YouTube, and sites protected by Cloudflare always put me into this annoying endless captcha loop if I'm using a custom profile. - Rated 5 out of 5by Thomas, 10 hours agoWaouh the best extension ever made ! I try many many UA extensions... I use it to change UA only for some web sites in the white list. Run very well on Android Firefox. Many thanks sereneblue !

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17569951, 24 days agoUI is nice, but it doesn't really seem to spoof very well... Most sites still immediately know I'm using Firefox when I have this set up to spoof Chrome. Only sites that check solely the User Agent string think I'm on Chrome; any other "detection method" returns Firefox for me. :(

- Rated 5 out of 5by nothairy, 3 months agoIt's pretty great, does what it says it does, tested it with am i unique, and it helped quite a bit. Only issue is that when you change your screen size through the extension, some websites may or may not break. but that's just normal, i suppose.

- Rated 2 out of 5by What???, 9 months agoOnly two stars because websites can still detect your true OS which can defeat the purpose if you are spoofing to a Linux browser. Otherwise, it's GUI is nice.
- Rated 5 out of 5by jcfyre, a year agoWorks excellently on Android. Many more settings than other user agent spoofer add-ons.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Tetranymous, a year agoI use this as a user-agent switcher (manually select a single chrome version, turn off and on as needed) since all the other user-agent switchers I tried didn't work for me. Chameleon works flawlessly! :)
