от cello, 7 лет назадIt works except it puzzles me why its size is so much bigger at 4+ MB compared to other agent addons that are only a few KB in size. I hope it is not consuming more system resources as a result. Will be great if author can slim it down some more.

размещено 7 лет назадThank you for your review! As mentioned before the 3MiB+ extra data shipped with the extension is used to generate sensible values for the other `navigator.*` browser identification values. Reading information like operating system, CPU type, device type, … from the User-Agent string is quite a hard thing to do 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) in my opinion definitely outweighs that, by comparison small, price.

- Оценено на 4 из 5от LS, 11 дней назадID options are outdated browser versions, thus, addon does not work for sites with sensitive "unsupported browser" settings, meaning certain sites will block you.
Either
1. offer up-to-date ID options
2. enable easy "toggle off" or "whitelist" option so I don't have to keep disabling the addon every single time I need to log in to such an abovementioned website. - Оценено на 5 из 5от Calico cat, 19 дней назадWorked like magic to get around the Google Drive "browser no longer supported" road block.

For example, if you can’t access a website from your mobile device because it requires a computer, you can open User-Agent Switcher and select a desktop device type and operating system — and vice versa.

- Оценено на 5 из 5от malau, 6 месяцев назадI was whining to Gemini about Google Maps and YouTube being horrendously slow compared to Chromium browsers. It recommended a User Switcher app. I installed this one and HOLY CRAP ! Google Maps in streetview moves at Chrome speed !
- Оценено на 1 из 5от Vykro, 7 месяцев назадThis extension does way more harm than good.
While it does seem to do what it claims to be doing, in practice using this is shooting yourself in the foot.
This is because it appears that with this extension active and set to pretend to be a different browser, websites perceive you as a bot.
On a vast amount of websites you will run into an impassable cloudflare captcha verification screen. You try to solve it - it fails and loops back around. It will keep failing until you deactivate this extension.
On youtube, any comments you leave will be automatically shadowbanned. Presumably because it detects you as a spam bot.
So I honestly don't see much point in using this. - Оценено на 5 из 5от Ana, 8 месяцев назад

Underneath, a powerful extension that enables you to view websites often in ways that run faster and disable pushing their APP to your phone. I consider it more advanced power user stuff, so I do wish there was a way to simplify things visually for more people to enjoy the advantages here. Maybe even a built-in database of known good user agents per website.

- Оценено на 4 из 5от fgxxr, 8 месяцев назадEasy to use (although a bit confusing if you're using it for the first time) and does as advertised.
The only issue I've seen recently is that videos on YouTube stop playing after a few seconds and an unexplained error prevents the video from playing every single time. Disabling this add-on instantly resolved this issue. I will change the rating to a 5-star as soon as I find a way for the addon to work again without this disturbance, or this issue is patched. - Оценено на 1 из 5от Пользователь Firefox 19581717, 9 месяцев назад
