- Rated 5 out of 5Ottima.

- Rated 5 out of 5I needed to access a website that tells me that my Firefox browser on a (Ubuntu) Linux host is not supported, and the site refused access. Thanks to User-Agent Switcher the site now thinks I am a MacOS box with Safari, and gives me access. Awesome. Thank you.
- Rated 5 out of 5相当好用的扩展, 不过也希望优化一下, 可以在选定模式后, 隐藏模式选择框, 并自动刷新当前页面, 这样体验感更好.

- Rated 5 out of 5The drop-down menu with user agents to choose from is such a good idea. Makes it very easy to pretend I'm Google Bot when I need to.
- Rated 5 out of 5Solved my instagram problem. How do I activate dark theme tho?
Developer response
posted 3 months agoThanks for the feedback! There never was an explicit dark theme option, instead CSS system colors were used to provide this effect. Unfortunately, Firefox disabled that feature in version 61+ so it's always been defacto hard-coded to black-on-white since then.
Thanks to your suggestion I have already implemented a working prototype that will instead automatically adapt to the color of the currently enabled theme. I hope to publish that soon. - Rated 5 out of 5With Gramblr dead and buried, a way to continue posting to Instagram from my Mac desktop was needed, and trying to use the mobile browser simulators in the Firefox Web Console only resulted in error messages. Now all I have to do is turn the Switcher on and off -- thanks, and stay in business!
- Rated 5 out of 5Excellent solution to deal with seriously buggy/bloated Yahoo email "classic mail" webpage (recent forced "upgrade" from yahoo) and also google's forced removal of lightweight sending text messages from browser (replacement is bloated, extremely slow). IN BOTH CASES - set user-agent to android/firefox browser for *.yahoo.com or voice.google.com as appropriate, and now I get a usable, lightweight presentation without yahoo's bugs/bloat and google's bloat of their desktop browser presentations. Also user-agent changer adds no perceptible load to my extremely low-resource computer, excellent!
