User reviews
Pros
- Has many pre-populated user agent presets available.
- Can successfully change user agent to bypass certain restrictions, such as downloading Windows .iso files on Linux.
- Performs the basic function of switching user agents if configured correctly.
Cons
- Frequently breaks Cloudflare's captcha verification, leading to denial of access on many sites.
- Interface is confusing and not user-friendly; users struggle to figure out how to use whitelist/blacklist and custom modes.
- Extension appears to be outdated and possibly abandoned, with last update over two years ago.
- Does not consistently work out-of-the-box; users often have to manually change settings repeatedly.
- Lacks requested features like 'Apply only this website' without using containers, limiting usability.

It doesn't work.
by soadfan, 2025-05-07
This doesn't work. I have to manually change the user agent on every startup or time interval. I don't need a data thieving, resource wasting, pretend add-on for that. There is a "Random User-Agent (Switcher)" that works perfectly and is very simple to set up.
