## Description

A lightweight Firefox extension that lets you masquerade as Chrome on selected sites with a single click. It avoids blanket UA spoofing by applying the disguise only to websites you choose.

Key features include automatic updates of the Chrome version it pretends to be via a simple API every 24 hours, automatic OS detection, and spoofing of additional properties like navigator.vendor and the global chrome object to pass common browser checks.
