by Alinivar, 5 years agoWorks fine, almost all sites load perfectly with the correct settings granted you don't go in like a noob and go nuts with all settings and don't read the documentation.
One issue though is YouTube, extension updated to 0.20.0.7 today and YouTube ended up loading without polymer, basically it literally loads as if it was YouTube during 2012 or something with no dark mode and less features.
Edit: Thanks for doing that! That was pretty fast, I can finally use it again.

posted 5 years agoHi Alinivar,
I'm sorry that you had to go through all that. In the previous versions of Chameleon, disabling Polymer would only kick in when using a non-Firefox profile. The problem with this method is that if you're using one of the random profile options, this would cause issues when using Youtube. The site would break and toggling Polymer wouldn't fix it until you changed your profile to Firefox to restart the process. I've removed the Polymer handling code so this should be resolved in the next update that will be released later today.

- Rated 5 out of 5by nothairy, a month 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???, 7 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, 9 months agoWorks excellently on Android. Many more settings than other user agent spoofer add-ons.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Tetranymous, 10 months 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! :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18386080, a year agoExtremely comprehensive privacy add-on.
I really recommend this module to spoof your browser. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17760368, a year ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 5995088, a year agoHey man I absolutely appreciate what you're doing, great add-on!
But could you please remove IE11 from the standard spoofing options? I mean, deactivating it is easy but nobody uses it anymore and almost every site I visit with this particular spoof doesn't work and tells me to update my browser. You could still keep the user agent but make it optional, not included in the default settings. - Rated 5 out of 5by Unn Yah, a year ago
