posted 2 years agoThanks for the feedback. Strictly speaking it is not the extension breaking the sites, but these sites perform browser sniffing and return invalid content when the believe the browser to be different from Firefox.
I am afraid whitelisting is the only option in such a case, this is unfortunately beyond the extension's control.

posted a year agoThanks for the rating. As for the issue, is that on all pages like that or just on one? Please file a report at https://github.com/tarampampam/random-user-agent/issues/new?template=bug_report.md - by Hellrazer001, a year agoRated 5 out of 5Is probably the Best Random User Agent, at the moment, it does what it says.
If you have a problem with youtube being blank, just white list youtube and it is fine.
=============================================
Note for the Developer : Tested and confirmed, enabling "sync extension between browsers " does delete all settings on browser exit, resetting everything to default.
Also I seem to be having a problem where web sites see the user agent chosen, but all web sites are saying that the platform is win32, " I use win64", should they not be seeing the platform as what is in the user agent header.
eg : user agent
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_2; en-SG) AppleWebKit/603.3.6 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0.2 Safari/603.3.6
Shows platform
Win32, should it not be Mac OS X 10
Also it has "Mozilla" at the start of every user agent header.
any chance of adding screen resolution spoofing to the program ?
thanks.Developer response

To address the issues you mentioned
1) That appears to be an issue with Firefox. Please check out https://github.com/tarampampam/random-user-agent/issues/90
2) Thats a known issue, see https://github.com/tarampampam/random-user-agent/issues/7
3) All browsers start with "Mozilla", https://github.com/tarampampam/random-user-agent/issues/65
4) I am afraid that is beyond the scope of the extension - by Firefox user 14176278, a year agoRated 5 out of 5Works as well as any other User-Agent Swithcer, BUT...!
But the settings are super simple and straightforward to understand and to set up automated switching. That's why I chose this add-on before the other options! - by FastKC, a year agoRated 5 out of 5
- by Firefox user 14676320, a year agoRated 4 out of 5I love this extension as it handles the job of altering UA automatically (set up and forget plugin), but now for whatever reason it doesn't save domain preferences so I have to disable it on custom domains (like youtube else the page won't show) every time. I would like to put 5 stars if this issue is corrected, for me its still the best plugin for that application.
EDIT : I think its just the exception list that is reset; maybe after update of the plugin (autoupdate is on, I will disable it to check)Developer response
posted a year agoThanks for the review. Could your issue actually be the same as https://github.com/tarampampam/random-user-agent/issues/90?
If so, please comment on the issue if it is not a solution to your problem and if it fixes it maybe you could reconsider the rating :) - by Firefox user 14585094, a year agoRated 5 out of 5
- by Firefox user 14613391, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5Works great! I especially love the statistically inconspicuous pool of agents. It still provides a reasonable deal of slight even if you have to set it to a selection of a specific operating system and browser to prevent constant broken websites. For me this is an acceptable alternative to constantly curating a white-list.

posted 2 years agoThanks for the review, though the issue you described sounds like the one mentioned at https://github.com/tarampampam/random-user-agent/issues/90 and is not really an issue of the extension. Please add any relevant information if you have more details
It would be nice if you could update you rating in light of these facts, unless you think there is another reason why it shouldnt have five stars. - by Firefox user 14517997, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5
