Análise por Utilizador do Firefox 14443931
Avaliado em 5 de 5
por Utilizador do Firefox 14443931 , há 7 anos This is a good estension because it spoof others navigator values in about config. I found a bug, after choice a browser prefecence do not update the vendor value. Some browser like Google Chrome have a vendor "Google Inc." or Opera Browser have vendor "Opera Software ASA", firefox have vendor empy "". I suggest to add the spoof of vendor like others navigator values. This is one of few estension that really spoof in serious mode because there are many value to change not only useragents to spoof a browser. Take into consideration the idea to change the value of vendor because it is important and some browsers communicate it to the sites to be identified. Have a nice day.
Update 06 December 2018.
1) I found some incorrect value in this estension, I added the complete image of all navigator values for firefox and Google Chrome, please adapt the estension to show correct value because some site can block browser with incorrect navigator data.

2) There are a bug, when you choice some useragent must be show oscpu null "" otherwise show original os in the machine. The user agent setted show a user agent (in my foto android) but oscpu (in google chrome is always null "") show real os (in my chase windows 7).
ThIs is a bug important to fix because show a conflict of the os from the user agent setted and oscpu grabbed via javascript.

I look in the estension there are a javascript file to set the navigator to show after choice an user agent, please look the 2 image added to adapt the estension to show correct values, i added image from firefox and google chrome with complete navigator list values.
Thanks your work.

- This extension does way more harm than good.
While it does seem to do what it claims to be doing, in practice using this is shooting yourself in the foot.
This is because it appears that with this extension active and set to pretend to be a different browser, websites perceive you as a bot.
On a vast amount of websites you will run into an impassable cloudflare captcha verification screen. You try to solve it - it fails and loops back around. It will keep failing until you deactivate this extension.
On youtube, any comments you leave will be automatically shadowbanned. Presumably because it detects you as a spam bot.
So I honestly don't see much point in using this. - Avaliado em 5 de 5por Ana , há 25 dias
- On the surface, a simple extension. Underneath, a powerful extension that enables you to view websites often in ways that run faster and disable pushing their APP to your phone. I consider it more advanced power user stuff, so I do wish there was a way to simplify things visually for more people to enjoy the advantages here. Maybe even a built-in database of known good user agents per website.
- Avaliado em 4 de 5por fgxxr , há 2 mesesEasy to use (although a bit confusing if you're using it for the first time) and does as advertised.
The only issue I've seen recently is that videos on YouTube stop playing after a few seconds and an unexplained error prevents the video from playing every single time. Disabling this add-on instantly resolved this issue. I will change the rating to a 5-star as soon as I find a way for the addon to work again without this disturbance, or this issue is patched. - Avaliado em 1 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 19581717 , há 2 meses
- Avaliado em 1 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 16549430 , há 2 mesesI have changed to a different agent switcher as this one causes a Cloudfare verifying continuous loop.

- Avaliado em 2 de 5por Xenofox , há 3 mesesI use this extension for many years now. But sadly the development is very slow. It's very outdated, you're stuck with very old and on many websites not anymore supported browser-versions to choose from like Firefox 134, Firefox 128 ESR, Safari 17, Edge 131. Also no matter which browser you choose from, on browserleaks.com/javascript its still possible to see that mozilla is used (the parameter appCodeName shows "Mozilla". So please ntninja update the extension!
Edit (2025.11.05):
In it's actual deprecated state this browser extension breaks the Cloudflare Bot Challenges.
If a website uses any of Cloudflares Anti-Bot Challenges it will break the website and render it useless. - Avaliado em 5 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 19437637 , há 4 meses

- Avaliado em 3 de 5por Nocturne , há 6 mesesdoesnt 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
