User reviews
User Agent Switcher for Browser is praised for its ease of use, effective UA switching across platforms, and reasonable interface design. Users appreciate its free availability and IP hiding capability. However, multiple reviewers report bugs affecting site functionality when custom UA is disabled or even when the extension is enabled without changes. Additionally, the extension does not alter UA for all webpage resources, and the interface could be modernized.
Pros
- Allows changing the User Agent (UA) effectively for various devices including PC, Android, and iOS.
- Simple, convenient, and easy to use with a reasonable interface design.
- Free to use and can hide IP.
- Offers custom User Agent editing functionality.
- Quick switching and website display remains normal during use.
Cons
- Disabling custom UA can cause website abnormalities, such as white screens on bilibili and issues with search or top bars.
- Some bugs reported when the extension is enabled but UA is not changed, affecting user details and comments on sites like bilibili and tiktok.
- Does not modify UA for all resources (e.g., JavaScript), only for webpage resource requests, limiting effectiveness.
- User interface is somewhat outdated and could benefit from updates.

能改UA，但是关闭自定义UA时，也会导致某些网站异常，如bilibili进UP主页会白屏，搜索会导致顶栏没有等。已换用BrowserNative的

Recently there have been some bugs, when this plugin is enabled (only enabled without changing the UA), the user details of the site bilibili and the comments and search of tiktok will not work.
