Description from store
Usage example: You can alter your user-agent string to indicate you?re on a mobile device if you prefer seeing mobile versions of sites so they load quicker.
--
This extension allows you to spoof your browser "user-agent" string to a custom designation, making it impossible for websites to know specific details about your browsing arrangement.
Video overview:

Notes:
1. You can easily set custom "user-agent" strings from the toolbar popup
2. The extension uses a two-factor technique to mimic your default "user-agent" string, which is the most reliable method
3. The extension does not use any resources when it is not spoofing the user-agent
4. The extension enables user-agent spoofing on specific domains only; it is conversely possible to exclude certain domains from spoofing. Check the Options page for more info.
5. You can set per-site user-agent strings
6. There is an option to randomize user-agent strings.
7. It is possible to set user-agent string for a single window; you can have a separate user-agent string for each browser window
8. It supports modern browser identification mechanisms such as "Client Hints" headers and the "navigator.userAgentData" object.

- Foo Bar
- Works great for me.
- frank white
- Perfect. The only one I know that can automatically revise the "sec-ch-ua-platform" http header. It even adaptively exposes "navigator.platform". Good job, thanks.

- Yves Genie
- It is very helpfull BUT i can not set custom version of fake browser so I can not use service with existed presets due to outdated version browser it says.
- Brickstin (JenixJuno)
- Recent updates to this extension has completely prevented Facebook.com from functioning. This extension is completely useless now............It has broken Facebook entirely.. Worked great while it lasted.
- B D (Ironhead HD)
- Does what it's supposed to do, not to complete perfection, but i think it's deserving of a 5 star rating.
- K Samsonov
- Hello, please update the user-agent to the new ones! Already, a long time ago, all browsers, very much updated! Good luck and happiness to you)
- Benjamin Campos
- works, however, it breaks some pages, please fix this, thanks.
- Maxwell Wilson
- Nice, but I can't get it to automatically work on newly opened windows (even if the main / host window has it enabled)

- Best in the business
- Corinthian
- Does what it says well enough
- Pilot Man
- I don't understand how people still using this one, it left a very big bug, easily can be traced by any bot detector, added amd64 on all useragents, sounds funny, this should match with current architecture or a way to select on extension based on cpu

- Oleksandr Prypkhan
- Has a lot of user agents and filters. Works wonders if you want to test a bunch of different browser version without having to look up user agent strings manually.
- Dream of Omnimaga
- It doesn't work all the time. I just tried logging in on Twitch in Chrome and got an error about unsupported browser even though I had the latest version. So I switched my user agent to Firefox and I still would get the login error. Same with switching to Safari user agent.

- Make Name Acceptable Go
- Worked for me when others would not. Works on the one website I need it on. Doesn't seem to have much of a footprint otherwise 👍. I will say that this is the first program / app / extension in a very long time I wished had an idiot user mode. I feel a bit like a Cessna pilot trying to fly a 747 with all its custom modes, white lists etc. But since I seem to have gotten the result I wanted (I can log on the website that told me no Vivaldi) while not applying itself to other websites (at least the test sites I've checked) I'm a very happy customer. If I stay that way I'll try donating.

- 1. Doesn't work with CloudFlare, makes visiting websites proxied by it impossible and we are talking about millions of websites. 2. The internal database of User Agents is rarely if ever updated. 3. In rare cases when you visit a website, the current tab simply freezes, the CPU use spikes to 100% and nothing ever happens. You just cannot browse it until you disable the extension.
