Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Ever needed to quickly switch between user-agent strings on the fly? Developing a site that needs to work on both mobile browsers and desktop browsers? Sick of some archaic site blocking you because you're not using Netscape 4?

The User-Agent Switcher for Chrome is the answer. With this extension, you can quickly and easily switch between user-agent strings. Also, you can set up specific URLs that you want to spoof every time.

Please note that this does not provide improved privacy while browsing the Internet and that some sites might have other means to figure out that the browser is not what it pretends to be. Running this extension can have performance impact on your browsing experience due to its need to intercept and modify the data communicated to the server.

NOTE: if some sites have problems after using a mobile user-agent, and won't switch back no matter what you spoof, you will need to switch the user-agent back to Chrome *and* clear your cookies for the sites to treat the browser normally again.

By installing this item, you agree to the Google Terms of Service and Privacy Policy at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/.

It took some research but once I found this extension I was able to easily and instantly watch netflix and other streaming sites using pipelight on my BackBox distro.

Great extension, works great! I like that I can even add a custom string, allowing me to spoof that I am using a Windows version of Chrome in Linux. Awesome!

Right to the point. Allows you to add custom user agents as well. It's fast to switch between user agents, why would you use anything else?

how about some export options? or that "centralized user agents list" that someone was talking about a while back?

Needs updating -- missing user agents for IE 10, IE 11, Windows Phone 8, etc.

I used to love this extension, but now it won't let me switch to Safari. It just boots me iOS.

I have found this to be a very useful tool in emulating early versions of explorer for use with legacy software, particularly .net builds
