User reviews

Great extension that allows one to use Linux with disney+ again in 2022. It would be nice if there was a feature that restricted the user agent switching to a set of pages of your choice however. I forgot to revert back to "default" and my WP admin site presented me with a red message about using an "outdated browser" after I had switched to MS Edge on Windows for disney plus on my Linux Mint / Vivaldi setup.

Works great. Spoofs the http header and the javascript navigator.useragent object but not the javascript navigator.appversion object.
