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/.

I have only tested iPad, and it is working, that is enough, though. Update: gmail will not open with iPad UA.

Nice extension, it eventually worked after chrome 17 has been released. One minus - after chrome restart default user agent is set again.

Works great since the 1.0.12 build! Allows me to use Oracle Financials at work through Chrome (need to set user agent to Mac Safari 4).

Nice job! I would like to give a little UX suggestion. It would be really convenient if the UA selection balloon goes away upon the selection of a UA from the list. With the current implementation, we have to click somewhere else to close it, which is a little unusual and not really expected.
