The Random User-Agent (Switcher) Chrome extension enhances your online privacy by automatically changing your browser's User-Agent string at set intervals. The User-Agent reveals your browser, operating system, and installed plugins, effectively serving as your browser's fingerprint. This extension replaces it with randomized User-Agent strings to help you browse anonymously and simulate different devices.

You have full control to customize which browsers and OSes to emulate, manually set your User-Agent, and define exceptions for specific sites. Lightweight and resource-friendly, it protects you from JavaScript fingerprinting techniques without slowing you down. Completely free and ad-free, this tool is a simple yet effective way to shield your identity online. Check out the source on GitHub here and enhance your browsing privacy today!

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Random User-Agent (Switcher) requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

Random User-Agent (Switcher) is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
