    I 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.

    1. 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.

    Great idea, but java can still bypass the spoof.

    Thank you for creating this. Ever since Quantum I've really missed Random Agent Spoofer, so this is really welcomed and appreciated.

    Hello. I have this add-on, and I have one question... Why are YouTube videos in mobile mode? I wanna use this add-one and watch regular YouTube videos. As of now, I have this add-on disabled. Is there anyway to fix this?

    You are probably using a mobile profile (iOS/Android). Visit https://httpbin.org/headers and if you see Android or iOS, you are using a mobile profile. If not, please open an issue here: http://github.com/sereneblue/chameleon/issues.

    Glad to hear that! The UX is a bit cumbersome on Android but hopefully the new whitelist editor makes thing a bit easier.

    -No option for random resolution change
    -No option for random time zone change
    -Options for Firefox browser spoofing too few

    If you set the profile option to Random, Random Desktop or Random Mobile, set the screen resolution to profile, and use an interval, the screen resolution will randomly change.

    Randomly changing the timezone isn't a good idea if you're IP isn't changing. If you use the IP option for the timezone option, the timezone will be automatically set when the browser starts.

    Please read the wiki for the options Chameleon offers. If you have a suggestion, create an issue on the GitHub page.

    amazing, is that possible to change user agent based on tab container?
    so every tab container have different consistent user agent

    Developer response

    posted 6 years ago
    It's possible for the request headers but it wouldn't work for the navigator properties (another way for sites to fingerprint your platform and user agent). I plan to work on something for containers in the near future.

    the bad: options are somehow slightly confusing (for instance built-in browser (about:config) options are not obviously distinguished from extras that come with the addon itself). etag prevention doesn't work if „real profile” is setup.

    the good: finally something open sourced that has ip spoofing, mechanisms against etag, and plenty plenty more! focued chameleon icon is a cherry on top. must have!

    I think you may find the wiki helpful: https://github.com/sereneblue/chameleon/wiki

    The Etag option should still work if you're using your real profile, but if you're having issues, please open an issue. :)
