- Rated 4 out of 5by Jack Hannon, duela 2 urteWorks very well, but wish it had the ability to set a custom user agent for a specific website. Meaning that user agent was only used on that site, and all other sites are not effected. At least i can't get it to work like this, maybe I'm doing something wrong though.

posted duela egun batYep, I'm still not implemented that feature. But you're able to try to implement it by yourself and send me a PR on GitHub! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17342390, duela 2 urte

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14676320, duela 5 urteI 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) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14528261, duela 5 urteI would continue to use Random User-Agent, however, I had to uninstall due to its breaking of Youtube. With RUA enabled on Firefox, YT's homepage yields only grayed-out slots where the videos should be shown -- obviously I can't interact with anything, let alone watch a video.
This error persists across the most recent versions of both Firefox and Waterfox. I had to disable all of my extensions and turn them on, one-by-one, and in the end, only RUA has this effect on Youtube.
Will gladly re-install in the future if this problem is resolved. - Rated 4 out of 5by Akilrajas, duela 5 urte

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12635333, duela 6 urteThis is a good plugin, but for some reason when I pick "Chrome" in the settings, I get Safari instead of Chrome. And the plugin apparently doesn't change window.navigator.platform , I don't know if it lacks permissions to be able to do this, but it would be an important feature for spoofing the OS
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14033039, duela 6 urteMain problem is the user agent isn't per-site. There are several user agent switchers that work per site, and several that randomize, but im still looking for one that does both to actually fill the role.
From a "user agent tracking" perspective, random spoofing per site prevents user agent based tracking (though of course there are other methods) within a single session, without this feature it somewhat defeats the point as if you're on two sites within the same random cycle you'll still be user agent matched. - Rated 4 out of 5by Nick G., duela 6 urteDoes not remember the settings if "Synchronize between browsers" is on.
The author knows about the problem and promised to fix it. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 11571316, duela 6 urteВозникла одна проблема. Включение настройки "Cкрывать настоящий User-Agent при определении средствами javascript (экспериментально)" ломает отображение картинок на некоторых сайтах (например aliexpress), при этом если добавить сайт в исключение проблема не решается пока не отключишь настройку полностью. Отключать ее не особо хочется. Можно ли это исправить?
P.S. При последующем запуске браузера проблема проявляется вновь даже если отключена соответствующая настройка. Помогает вк/выкл дополнения.
