Simply doesn't work on mail.com. That was exclusively what I needed it to do, so that's a total failure.

Aucun effet sur Firefox pour Android, testé sur Boursobank et Renault, le navigateur reste détecté comme un Android

Causes a gigantic memory leak.

By default, sets a completely insane user agent, mixing up all browsers and os, making website believe I'm using chrome on windows

Override domain doesn't work- keeps reverting to default useragent despite wildcard domain set. Development seems inactive.

AVOID!!! - causes PC to crash as "unsupported browser" tabs open - especially if using Linux + Waterfox as UA etc (more than that)

USE LINUX kODACHI

Doesn't seem to be designed for easy mobile use

Thank you for your feedback! Could you please be more specific on how you think the mobile UI should be designed? The mobile UI was not a primary development focus and has been added as an afterthought, so I'd welcome any input here.

The huge size of the drop-down menu.
The huge size of the extension itself.
Access to browser activity during navigation.

What for?

> The huge size of the drop-down menu.

This was added a couple of days ago to compensate for people with high-res monitors where the popup ended up being tiny. I guess it will become another option in settings…

UPDATE: Reverted to the previous behaviour, the new behaviour is now available as a disabled-by-default checkbox in the extension options.

> The huge size of the extension itself.

Since this is a recurring question I've added an FAQ entry to the extension's description. Please kindly refer to that for an answer.

> Access to browser activity during navigation.

Used to switch the extension's icon color and tooltip when you navigate from/to pages that have an override set. I could do without that permission but this way it is more reliable and easier to implement (note that extension will be able to see all sites you visit regardless of this permission, it's just more convenient to do it this way in this particular case).

Bloated and slow. Another addon, "User Agent Switcher and Manager", which do exactly the same, is faster and more than 20 times smaller!

Yet it doesn't spoof the other `navigator.*` properties amiright? Over 90% of the size of this extension is a stripped down version of the Browscap User-Agent capability database that we use to infer the required extra information based on the given User-Agent-String. Not trying to convince you or anything, but I thought an explanation of why this is happening may be in order. :-)
