- Waardering: 3 van 5door Firefox-gebruiker 18205130, één maand geledenin my case it doesn't help. on some particularly "especially smart" sites (in mobile versions of which, for example, the capabilities are limited), when choosing the user agent windows, it still says that I’m logging in from my phone.

- Waardering: 3 van 5door Firefox-gebruiker 18228947, 4 maanden geledenThe add on seems to work alright for the most part, but the domain override function doesn't seem to work. Every time I visit a site that needs human verification, I can't get past it even if I have the box checked. I have to go into my extensions list and disable the add on completely to get verified.
- Waardering: 3 van 5door Jack :), 6 maanden geledenDefinitely helped reduce the amount of problems with Youtube. Unfortunately, had to remove as it completely broke Google Docs. If you want to keep using, however, just setting the browser back to firefox fixes the issue.
- Waardering: 3 van 5door Blackrobe, 6 maanden geledenThis extension somehow break Google Docs' functionality, where it cause you to not be able to type anything in the document.
- Waardering: 3 van 5door Peterowsky, 6 maanden geledenHalf works around youtube's illegal slowing of browsers. It loads faster, but the controls are still in slug-mode.
- Waardering: 3 van 5door nout77, 10 maanden geledenEasy and decent User-Agent switcher. But missing an overview function for the exceptions / overrides i make for the many domains i visit. Now it is only possible to view/add/change an override if you are on the specific website.
An other thing which can be improved is the user agent set. After installing this addon i did not notice any updates (like version number increments) on the set of user agent strings, you have to do this yourself. [i was wrong, there are some weekly/monthly updates]
But the Firefox user agent is not correct: "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:115.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0" should be "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0" see the rv:109.0 reference.
Beside that, working great! - Waardering: 3 van 5door EarlgreyTea, één jaar geleden
- Waardering: 3 van 5door Firefox-gebruiker 12809733, één jaar geledenCould use some improvements, like a panel where you check all overriden domains (as if you override imgur.com it will always redirect to imgur.io, making it impossible to undo without disabling the extension) and a "simple mode" that allows switching only between desktop and android UA.

- Waardering: 3 van 5door Firefox-gebruiker 10647288, 5 jaar geledenA wonderful multiuse tool. However, it seems that in the latest update YouTube videos won't load unless set to Default. Went back to previous version, videos load normally again.

- Waardering: 3 van 5door Firefox-gebruiker 15039412, 5 jaar geledenWorks like a charm and is open source but it would be nice to add an option to automatically switch to a different user agent on certain websites instead of doing that manually

5 jaar geleden geplaatstNo true! It is actively *maintained*, I'm just unlikely to add new features without sufficient motivation at this point (maintenance ≠ feature development). ;-)
(Obviously I will accept patches for any of the requested features, so feel free donate your time if money isn't available to you!) - Waardering: 3 van 5door Cyberknight, 5 jaar geledenCompatible with Waterfox! Very customisable and powerful add-on, allowing selecting a specific agent for each visited domain. It has two different interfaces, one more "user friendly" and another more "programmer friendly". One problem with this add-on is its size (4 MB file / 21 MB installed). Recently (2020/10) tested it against other much smaller UA switchers and didn't notice any advantages. Downvoting for rudeness on description Page, though.

5 jaar geleden geplaatstThank you for your review! The “huge cache of hundreds (!!!) of files […], which may be completely removed” are in fact used to generate sensible values for the `navigator.*` browser identification values. Parsing information like operating system, CPU type, device type, … is not a simple affair as there are no standards at all – one just has to guess based on the COMMENT parts of the User-Agent string. Fortunately the BrowsCap project has maintained a list of matching patterns for figuring out this information since 1997 that is extremely reliable. As such, I will continue using it even if it means bloating the extension size by about 3MiB. The fact that it allows everything to just work out-of-the-box with just a single input value (the User-Agent string itself) definitely outweighs that, by comparison small, price.
I would like to think that, if you don't need this complete level of emulation, then you may use just about any of the other User-Agent switching extensions because – to my knowledge this capability is unique to this extension.
- Alexander - Waardering: 3 van 5door none999999, 6 jaar geledenThis is pretty decent. The Playstation default I like as it forces a lot of broken websites (eg. Gmail, YouTube) to work. The downside is adding or changing them does not work. And the CURL and WGET are bad options as they make websites think you're some scraper bot.

Could you please elaborte what you mean by “The downside is adding or changing them does not work”? I do not unfortunately understand what you mean by this.
Having the CLI tools options available is good for testing for the exact behaviour you describe as “bad”. Some sites also hide/modify content from web browsers, but only deliver them to bots and specialized client software for automated processing – feeds/podcasts are a prominent example of this. - Waardering: 3 van 5door Firefox-gebruiker 13926692, 6 jaar geledengreat extension but
please add domain exception list, some sites look terrible on big screen and some other force you to open site with app like soundcloud and fb messenger - Waardering: 3 van 5door OverdoozeDJ, 6 jaar geleden
