by The Beard Below My Chin, 7 years agoExcellent Add-on.
There are hundreds of these add-ons, they have one goal, same names, similar functionality, and I even found an outdated rip off of this one.
Why choose this over the others? If you want to easily maintain your own list and you don't need an outdated list of 1000s of deprecated browsers, or a pretty interface with big flashy icons. If you want to spoof an agent and have it stick on browser restarts or spoof the agent for a specified website and have it stick or spoof random agents at an interval than this add-on is for you. I have set this up for an old lady so it's not only made for "hackers".
Developer: The interface text size and spacing could at the users discretion be decreased so we can fit more items into view, I'm using the default list and it takes up a lot of room. The icon is ugly! It's identifiable in that I look for the ugly icon. It looks like a box with a small dot in the center, consider increasing the empashis of the 3 "heads?" or making a new icon with out the noise in the background. minimalism is the current trend for a good reason.

Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for your feedback! I don't think changing font size is a good idea, but if you feel like I'm wrong, please open an issue with as many details as possible for this at https://gitlab.com/ntninja/user-agent-switcher/issues/new .
I definitely embrace the idea of adding a more clear-cut icon (although I don't agree that the current one is „ugly“) and already updated the icon of my other extension, Smart Refer, because of this. If you could provide a visual sketch of what you have in mind that would help a lot in making this happen through.

- Rated 5 out of 5by E.C., 2 months agoThanks, I can see high quality Facebook Reels on Firefox because of this extension
- Rated 3 out of 5by Nocturne, 2 months agodoesnt keep itself isolated using "only for this site" pref. Apparently it enables selected UA for *all* sites, and for ones you didn't want you have to opt-out... Not best UX

- Rated 1 out of 5by Adrien, 3 months agoPlante instantanément Firefox mobile.
Instantly crashes Firefox mobile. - Rated 3 out of 5by Synetech, 3 months agoThis used to be the most functional useragent-switcher (even if the UI/UX was left wanting), but even this doesn't seem to work anymore. 😕
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14946084, 4 months agoAlthough this extension doesn't solve my issue completely (hating how Facebook looks and works), I am able to easily convince FB that my laptop is a mobile device which makes it more tolerable.

- Rated 5 out of 5by WhoAboutYT, 5 months agoI love it, I use the user-agent switcher because sites like Roblox believe firefox is "suspicious" and will serve you 10 Captchas if you are on Firefox
- Rated 1 out of 5by Yeko, 5 months agoDoes not work at all. Sites still see my browser's original version string.
