This not only improves browsing speed but enhances user experience by reducing distractions.

Ideal for web developers and testers, this extension allows quick switching between User-Agent strings for different URLs on the same site, enabling efficient testing across devices and conditions.

User reviews

The User-Agent Chrome extension is praised for its user-friendly design, effective performance, and simplicity. However, multiple users report issues with the custom user-agent feature not functioning properly and the extension applying settings globally rather than site-specifically. Users also wish for more advanced features such as timezone and location adjustments, and better documentation to enhance usability.

Pros

User-friendly interface appreciated by multiple users.
Works well for most use cases as expected.
Recommended by users for its intended functionality.
Simple and nice interface design.

Cons

Custom option does not work properly for some users, failing to change user-agent effectively.
Setting user-agent for one site defaults the same for others; lack of site-specific customization.
Lacks advanced features like timezone and location change, as requested by users.
Needs better instructions or user manual for easier use.

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.

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 requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.

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