Make it harder to be tracked on the internet. This is like a user agent randomizer, except that each domain is assigned the same random user agent each time the browser starts up. This will not randomly log you out of sites.

User Reviews

Very simple extension, does exactly what it says and nothing more. If you don't believe me, audit the code yourself. My only complaint is the lack of a whitelist.

Compatible with Waterfox! This add-on has absolutely no options, no icons, nothing! It works completely automatic, selecting a random agent string for each domain visited by the user. Unfortunately, there is no way to select/edit available agent strings, whitelist/blacklist domains or anything at all.

It seems to work, but on some sites such as addons.mozilla.org, it says I require newer version of firefox to use a certain addon. This addon would be even better if it also allows custom agent selection to avoid problems like these.

Is Janus User Agent Safe?

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.

Janus User Agent requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox 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 a Firefox add-on.

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