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/.

Works great. One thing I'd like is the option to, when the UA is set to IE, to run the <!--[if IE]> stuff. Other than that, great.

One suggestion: I used the permanent spoof list function. But it doesn't work when the spoofed website has some link that displays in pop up windows. (It only works when I manually switch the agent first that click on the link). Maybe the auto spoof-list is not fast enough to detect domain and switch before the browser check is done? or there is no automatic switching in this case?

While it enables Chrome to act as different browsers, after short while I discovered that the "default" setting does not return Chrome to its original state; now I seldom can do search from the address bar as it kept informing me that instant search is not available, while previously I have no problem with that.
