    Nice Addon.
    1. Please increase windows and macOS no. of user agents/profiles. Also please do not remove older browser profiles.
    2. You addon is not able to fetch IP to timezone details and throws error when Timzone is set to IP address. It says "Unable to connect"
    3. Please add Navigator spoofing. So that your addon can spoof navigator details to match useragent.
    4. Please add support for WEBGL vendor and renderer spoofing to relative useragent.
    5. Please provide BTC address so that this addon can be supported by Donations.
    6. This user also mentioned GPU spoofing is needed

    Hi,

    1. Older browser profiles are generally not kept because of auto updates in modern browsers.
    2. This issue should be resolved now. This may have been caused because of Cloudflare.
    3. Chameleon already spoofs the navigator.
    4. This may be added in a future update.
    5. https://sereneblue.github.io/chameleon/donate
    6. See 4.

    Je découvre et je suis agréablement surpris.

    This extension is so great ! I'm using only the user agent spoofing which is great, it uses common UAs and works well compared to "random user agent" extension (which is not even open source).
    I'm using it in combination to CanvasBlocker which I prefer to know what sites have requested, but the choice is hard between these 2 outstanding extensions.

    Thank you !

    The only "issue" I had is I cannot prevent website from detecting my GPU.

    Does this work with TOR browser? I only want to change the OS randomly in the headers, but am also concerned about privacy and anti-tracking. I do not know what all the settings mean in this addon. How to maintain privacy and avoid tracking on TOR while using this addonn?

    Hi,

    Chameleon can work with the Tor Browser although that somewhat defeats the purpose of using it. The Tor Browser tries to maintain a uniform browser fingerprint across all platforms. It might be a bit extreme for daily usage. I suggest checking out the wiki to learn more about Chameleon and some other privacy resources: https://sereneblue.github.io/chameleon/wiki.

    Nice add-on
    it would be great if you add custom screen size value support
    I want to set 1280x720 screen size, but it's not available in values
    Also enabling "spoof font fingerprint" causes different font faces to look the same is that a bug or expected behavior?
    Thanks for the effort you put in on this.

    Hi,

    1280x720 isn't included because it's not a common resolution. 1366x768 is usually the minimum for modern screen sizes (laptops). When fonts are spoofed, unique system fonts may not be supported so the browser falls back to a limited number of basic fonts. If you visit https://browserleaks.com/fonts with "spoof font fingerprint" enabled and different profiles (Windows, macOS, Linux, etc), the fonts listed under "JS Fonts (classic)" will change.

    При правильных настройках работает отлично, обеспечивая безопасность и анонимность пользователя. Проверено не один раз.

    Very cool extension! But, tell me, what can I disable so that it continues to change the user agent on YouTube, but does not spoil the video? Or white window appears, covering half of video, or half of video is covered with collored stripes.

    Hi Sergey,

    This issue may be caused by spoofing the screen resolution. Please create an issue here: https://github.com/sereneblue/chameleon.

    The UI/options and documentation might be a little bit unintuitive and sparse, imho. However, with experimentation to figure out what each option really does, this really is a highly effective tool that runs smoother than the 2 or 3 other addons it replaces.

    Great addon, thanks sereneblue. Too bad last updates (v0.20.1 now) took over Firefox cookies management and you can't manage cookies permissions on a per-site basis anymore. Or can you?
    I used to allow cookies only from a handful of websites.

    Hi cluelessdev, I've actually never used that specific feature in Firefox and I'm not sure where it's located. I've checked and it used to be accessible as mentioned in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1200198 but I can't seem to find it. Chameleon doesn't handle cookie permissions on a per-site basis but you should be able to do that with uMatrix or Cookie Autodelete.
