    Really simple add-on which does exactly what it should and comes in handy when websites try to be lazy and just block everything but chrome.

    And I also got a really fast response from the developer when reporting a bug. <3

    This is awesome. I can use Firefox again. I was blocked all the time by silly "human checks". Two possible improvements: make the visual difference mask/nomask easier to see (instead of a small dot), and have a setting for "always on by default on all websites". But those are small things, the extension is great

    I won't add a "default on" mode. That should not be needed - most sites do work fine without spoofing as Chrome, and doing a spoof by default will actually expose you to all kinds of breakage. In addition, the Web Compatibility team at Mozilla (of which I am part of!) wants to actively know about sites that DO require us to spoof as Chrome, which is why the addon itself provides two easy ways to report. A "default on" option would not be the right approach.

    Thanks for the feedback about the visibility of the indicator. It's kinda hard to find the right balance here, but I have a couple of ideas to try to make it more visible if this comes up more frequently. I'll keep you in mind!

    Having issues with sites not loading well in Firefox(looking at your Facebook) this add-on works to fix the problem!

    Was hesitant to install because the install base seemed low and I didn't see any reviews, so to anyone else hesitant for the same reason, know that this works really well!!

    There are certain websites I use that block non-chromium browsers (snapchat web is a major one, for example) and I used to have extensions for those specific sites before, but at best they weren't completely reliable or a little sketchy and at worst they would get taken down and I'd have to hunt for replacements. This extension replaces ALL of those, and is super easy and user friendly and polished. I love that it works on a site-to-site basis, too.

    Thank you for saving me some headache!

    Heh, I published this less than a month ago, so the low install count isn't surprising. Glad it helps you, and thanks for the review!
