Spoofs & Mimics User-Agent strings. Revert Site lets you get the old Facebook site design back (for Biz/Fan Pages only)
Full summary

Ever needed to quickly switch between user-agent strings on the fly? Developing a site that needs to work on both mobile browsers and desktop browsers? Sick of some archaic site blocking you because you're not using Netscape 4?

The User-Agent Switcher for Chrome is the answer. With this extension, you can quickly and easily switch between user-agent strings. Also, you can set up specific URLs that you want to spoof every time.

Please note that this does not provide improved privacy while browsing the Internet and that some sites might have other means to figure out that the browser is not what it pretends to be. Running this extension can have performance impact on your browsing experience due to its need to intercept and modify the data communicated to the server.

NOTE: if some sites have problems after using a mobile user-agent, and won't switch back no matter what you spoof, you will need to switch the user-agent back to Chrome and clear your cookies for the sites to treat the browser normally again.

Revert Site lets you get the old Facebook design / layout back (for Biz/Fan Pages and a few other pages too).

Revert Site is very quick to install, and very easy to use, it just has a single option, that is turned on by default, so you can just install it and not have to configure anything. However if you wish to temporarily disable Revert Site, you can easily do so by clicking the extension icon, in the browser's extensions toolbar, then un-ticking the "Switch back to the old Facebook design" checkbox. To turn it back on, just re-tick the checkbox.

If you can't find the Revert Site (R) button in your extension's toolbar, it may be hidden behind the "Jigsaw puzzle piece" button, so click that and see if its behind there.

**** PLEASE NOTE ****

Revert Site can only revert Business / Fan Pages, and a few other pages. It can't revert the Newsfeed, Personal Profiles, Events or Group pages.

If you find there are any parts of the site that won't work with the Revert option turned on, switch it off while you carry out your tasks, then turn it back on when you have finished to go back to the old site again.
