User reviews

Unfortunately this is not quite there. There's not a simple text field to paste a string. If you paste it a string, you go back to edit it, the field is empty instead of containing the previous setting. It has an annoying pop-up that asks you "are you sure you want to switch to the default agent". Why?

It solved my issue , many times the services you are using over the internet are not compatible with OS, this extension will come as a remedy . Great Tool

its not perfect but it does the job better than most others ive tried. I use Chrome and Opera GX regularly and sadly many sites do not recognize Opera GX (they should!!!) so have a user-agent is a valuable tool. and having so many options is great for development purposes as well. thanks!
