Very inconvenient way of importing the user agent in text form.

Hello! I decided to use your supplement. But the first thing I did not like was the lack of the ability to auto-update user agents. I thought I could solve this problem by manually adding agents through the site https://techblog.willshouse.com/2012/01/03/most-common-user-agents/ On this site there is a string display of agents for example:
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.113 Safari/537.36
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.100 Safari/537.36"
But when I began to add them, they were wrong. It turned out that these lines should be edited and indicate which client is available in fact - dekstop or mobile ... It's not convenient! Is the add-on not able to determine whether the agent belongs to the OS on the line "... (Windows NT 10.0, Win64, x64) ..."?

    Firefox on mobile doesn't have a feature to permanently keep "Desktop site" on, sometimes when the website is unloaded from memory and reloaded the website goes back to mobile view which can be frustrating. This extension is pretty much a fix to Firefox's lack of such feature.

    Simply doesn't work on mail.com. That was exclusively what I needed it to do, so that's a total failure.

    Works great to fix YouTube illegally slowing/breaking functionality on browsers other than Chrome. However, it completely breaks functionality in Google Docs, making it impossible to type in a document while the add-on is activated. As someone who does a lot of work in docs, this is a really significant issue, so a fix would be appreciated!

    Aucun effet sur Firefox pour Android, testé sur Boursobank et Renault, le navigateur reste détecté comme un Android

    Great add-on. You can apply user agent switches per domain. It worked at first try on YouTube. The icon colour will change accordingly whether there is a switch applied per domain or general. Way clearer than 'User-Agent Switcher and Manager' by Ray.

    Why is edge stuck at 44? Copilot won't even show on the page

    wow. this is better than User-Agent Switcher and Manager and UI is better. Also that works only single website if want. Great job 👍

    It works in Mozilla Firefox 129.0b9 x64, but it is sad that it is impossible to directly edit the list of domains and the User-Agents assigned to them.

    User-Agent Switcher is just great and exactly what I was looking for.
    It does exactly what the name suggests, it also works on Firefox for Android and it is Free Software (GPLv3). Also, I appreciate the extensive description.
