Google Search Fixer by Thomas Wisniewski, Rob W

Rated 5 out of 5
by index.html, 8 years agoWorks great to change the search appearance.
One small issue: since the UA is one that's reported by a real Android device, this results in a new "LG Nexus 5" entry in Google's "Recently Used Devices" list (myaccount.google.com/device-activity). I spent a while digging through my activity log to figure out if someone used my account on another phone before figuring out that this extension caused the entry to show up. Using some bogus Android model might work better for the purposes of this extension.

posted 8 years agoThanks so much for the heads up, but it looks like I can't find a magical value to use that will fool that page into showing "Google Search Fixer" on that list. They actually seem to be guessing at a device model based on the Android version number in the string, and maybe the navigator.platform value, as no matter what navigator properties I fiddle with I can only get it to say "LG Nexus 4", "Samsung Galaxy Edge S7", or "Asus Nexus 7 (2013)". I think I'll just have to jot down a note in the addon description so that other users are aware of this.

- Rated 5 out of 5by trav1295, 5 months agoThis add-on doesn't seem needed anymore. Got an Android after a couple years on iPhone and was very happy to use the actual Firefox (not some safari-clone) and Google works great without this add-on which really surprised me. But rating 5-stars as this used to be crucial
