## Description

### Accept-Language per Site Chrome Extension

Accept-Language per Site allows users to customize the `Accept-Language` HTTP header on a per-website basis. This means you can specify the preferred language or languages that your browser sends to individual websites, facilitating access to content in the specified language.

**Key Features:**
- Set different `Accept-Language` headers for different domains.
- Simple setup via the extension options on the browser’s add-ons page.
- Use wildcard domains like `*.example.com` to cover subdomains.
- Easily manage and save your language preferences per site.

**How to Use:**
1. Install the extension.
2. Navigate to `about:addons` in your browser and open the extension options.
3. Add domains (e.g., `*.example.com`) along with the desired language codes (e.g., `en`).
4. Save your settings to apply.

This extension empowers users to have greater control over the language content they receive based on the website they visit, enhancing browsing experience especially for multilingual users or developers testing localization.

## Review summary

Users value the core feature: per-site Accept-Language control, ease of use, and the ability to curb auto-translations, especially for minority languages. However, multiple reviews note stability problems after updates, with the addon stopping work in newer versions and users having to revert. A recurring issue is that saved configurations do not persist after Firefox restarts. In short, the add-on offers a useful, simple per-site language manager, but update-related breakages and persistence issues detract from reliability.

### Pros

- Per-site Accept-Language configuration and control
- Easy to use / simple add-on
- Helps curb auto-translation and poor translations on sites
- Useful for minority languages
- Privacy-friendly / avoids injecting affiliate codes

### Cons

- Regression: stops working after updates (update-related breakages across versions)
- Saved configurations do not persist after Firefox restarts
