by USER-EXPERIENCEONLY, 4 years ago3-27-25: works. But still hard to figure out the exact reason sites are blocking you. I imagine a sites javascripts negate chameleon settings to reveal that you're browser is FAKE? They need to incorporate more feedback from a site to determine how the lame site is blocking you.
8/24/24: can't keep settings. reverts to default browser without input from user. A PITA to use it. Too many settings, too much trouble to set up. Lacks user manual so user must be html programmer to figure out how to use it. Slow to load sometimes won't load at all.
9-22: FB detects the settings on this and won't allow you to login. Need an instruction book on how to spoof so website still works. Settings require advanced coding/scripting knowledge otherwise you're just shooting urself in the foot. Spoof and defingerprint but make the sites still work.
6-2022: Dont use it much cuz safe script has ability to fine tune profile blocking which I do not see in this addon. Some sites won't let you login if you don't have the right time zone or browser listed-needed a way to report this from the addon so user knows why they are being blocked by a website. Slow to load.
Need further details in manual just what all the settings do and how to avoid website blocking while still not letting them id and track you. It's not bad, it's just somewhat incomplete.
1-10-22: when pages detect something not right in your settings, such as time zone wrong or browser version not correct or screen resolution incorrect under chameleon settings, then page will not load and you get an error message from chameleon "not on whitelist". well If I wanted it on the whitelist, I would not be using chameleon to begin with. Needed a way to trick webpages and obfuscate your browser fingerprint WITHOUT them blocking you. Only way to do that is with a residential proxy. So I don't really see what purpose Cham. is if the site KNOWS your profile is fake? Most sites don't track by browser version anyways. Am I missing something here? need better documentation showing users how to use cham. Also SLOW to load and they have not fixed the problem where some other program has a popup and then Cham will not popup
changed recently, now will not load facebook and keeps asking to white list it. When you try to "white list" it, does not take, have to disable this ext to use facebook, not good. No explaination given. bad.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14158621, 7 days 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, 7 days 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, a month 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! :)
