Features & Capabilities

User-Agent Switcher is a versatile Chrome extension that allows users to quickly and easily switch between 26 popular user-agent strings. It features a convenient toolbar popup UI divided into four rows: mobile user-agents, desktop user-agents, desktop operating systems, and control options. Users can toggle user-agents after reloading the page, edit or copy the current user-agent, and specify particular URLs or domains for applying custom user-agents.

The extension also provides a status bar within the popup for real-time information and supports modifying default user-agents directly from the toolbar panel. For users needing custom user-agent strings, the developer offers another complementary addon. This extension is ideal for developers, testers, and privacy-conscious users who need to simulate different browsing environments with ease.

Why does it want now to "Block content on any page"?

Is User-Agent Switcher 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.

User-Agent Switcher 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 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.

User-Agent Switcher is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
