by none999999, 7 years agoThis 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by WhoAboutYT, 21 days 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, a month agoDoes not work at all. Sites still see my browser's original version string.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Thomas, 2 months agoFinalement cette extensions est peu compatible avec Firefox sous Android. Bug au démarrage de Firefox pour le premier site lancé c'est l'UA par défaut ensuite c'est bon. Mais à chaque démarrage cela recommence...

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17569951, 3 months agoEdit: No longer works anymore. Sites that block Firefox users are blocking them again even with this extension set to tell the site I'm on Chrome. :(
Needed to use a site that was silently refusing to let Firefox users log in. Used this extension to tell the site I'm on Chrome. I can log in now. 10/10 Would recommend if you find a site that hates Firefox, this works to bypass it - Rated 5 out of 5by Kim, 3 months agoThe only user agent switcher I've found that reliably works. Allows you to apply custom user agent to a specific domain. UI is simple and easy to understand.

- Rated 5 out of 5by KLJY, 4 months agoThe best user agent switcher. Buffering on Youtube magically gone. Compared to using FF by default that YT will buffer every 10 seconds.
