User-Agent Switcher is a powerful Chrome extension designed for developers and power-users alike, enabling quick and easy switching between different user-agents. With one right-click, users can mimic, spoof, or fake different browsers, devices, or search engine spiders, allowing thorough testing of webpage responses across various environments.

The extension includes a convenient toolbar button and menu to select from predefined user-agents or add custom ones tailored to specific needs. Changing the user-agent also updates the JavaScript-based navigator.userAgent property. While it doesn't affect the actual rendering engine, this tool is essential for developers aiming to optimize and debug their websites across targeted browsers. Users can effortlessly revert to the default user-agent once testing or browsing is complete, enhancing flexibility and control during web development and research.

USELESS EXTENTION! I went to youtube and it asked me to update the browser because it was outdated. Does not support the latest browsers! Beware!

切换确实方便，不过很多网站都会提示浏览器版本太低。youtube直接无法打开。

在商店中试了几个修改浏览器标识的插件,还是这个最好用

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.

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

Risk impact analysis details

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.

User-Agent Switcher has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
