What is User-Agent?

User-Agent is a pioneering Chrome extension that offers personalized browsing options. It allows users to set their own user-agent parameters based by domain, URL, wildcard, keyword, regex or globally. Users can also opt to keep either mobile or desktop site versions, evade disruptions like cookie alerts, login prompts, paywalls, and ad blocker notifications. Ideal for web developers, it lets them test different URL's with various user-agents, providing unlimited testing possibilities. It also offers the option to represent oneself as a bot to bypass particular website restrictions. With User-Agent, the users control their browsing experience.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

User-Agent like never before! Set User-agent by domain, URL, wildcard, keyword, regex (or global). Keep Mobile page or desktop version. Stop cookie alerts, Login prompts, Paywalls, Adlocker notifcations.

This allows you to precisely keep the mobile site of one URL but the Desktop version of another!

You can use bot agents (like bingbot, googlebot) to automatically avoid cookie notifications, paywalls, adblocker notifications on news sites or any site. And login walls on Google, Youtube, Facebook, Pinterest, Quora and so on. This even makes most sites load faster! (if you use a bot user-agent, please help collect exceptions which might not show disadvantages/locks )

You can also easily set this up to test different URLs on one site with every different use agent (especially If you make websites yourself) - Unlimited Possiblities

Recent reviews

Setting user agent for one site defaults the same for others like other UAS. How do I use the custom option? Adding a specific site to custom sets the same default for every other site not added. This thing either needs to be more specific rather than mere numbering 1,2,3,4... or needs to come with its own user manual. Needs to be more user friendly for the not-genious majority.
