does not work on facebook
When active using the updated list of user agents i get website errors "Your browser is out of date! Update your browser to view this website correctly." Clearly, this is using a very outdated list of user agents! Shame on the developer for halfassing it
did not work at all for me and i found one that actually works
Did not work at all
I dont want it
Terrible. Used it for Youtube on Chrome and wanted to just have it for the single tab I had open. Worked to the point of changing it to mobile view but after that point could never get it back to regular www view!
Sorry, a pretty user interface begging for money doesn't impress me.
Basically doesn't work (Chrome dev channel 36.0.1941.0)
Can't get custom user agent to show up in the options as something you can select.
Unable to switch to custom settings.
Didn't work...
Doesn't work
doesn't actually work
This did not work at all in MacOS X 10.8.2, Chrome version 22.0.1229.94 The controls on the dropdown to choose user agent, enable URL sniffer, and so forth were unresponsive.
Hi This did get 5 stars, but after the upgrade to chrome 19.0.1084.52 on linux, this extension does not appear to be working!
Does not work. Sites still sniff the browser as Chrome.
This is fine if you want to use the presets, however you can't customize user-agents. It appears you can, but the changes aren't actually saved. Also, if you edit a preset, it doesn't actually "stick" either -- and you have no way of selecting it from the drop down anyway. This app also does annoying things like puts ads in the extension itself, and begs you to rate it 5 stars, which is an annoyance.
I'm not sure why this has such amazing ratings, but if I wanted to write my own header info, I would. The default choices are limited and it does NOT spoof your OS. Meaning for those of us, who use a User Agent extension, so we can download both the 32bit and 64bit versions of apps... not to mention, various OS versions, including legacies, are completely out of luck with this extension.
There are no Bots in the list.
It did something to my Chrome... even after I uninstalled it, the Instant Search breaks down 2 out of 3 times, may need to reinstall Chrome
Kind of a train wreck, but it does allow you to set 'nonstandard' user agent strings, which is very useful for...research. I had to use the 'pattern' feature, it wouldn't work without. Your mileage may vary.
when i try to post on instagram using android tablet it tells me "Rotate your device to add to your story." Does anyone know how to solve this?
pros: rich flexible configurations, can use regex matching. cons: not supporting navigator.userAgent and User-Agent Client Hints (sec-ch-ua headers) adjustment which "User Agent Switcher and Manager" can do. overall good extension.
Interesting Tool, but.... I had to disable it, since it prevented other Chrome Apps installation. I got NETWORK_ERROR, and after disabling this plugin (inside extension manager) I managed to install other Chrome Apps successfully.
it works perfectly, but it deleted all my extensions for some reason
Everything is amasing BUT one thing kills two stars - cannot enable it only on sites I need. Example - online bank req IE8+. I want UUAS to switch into IE10 mode automatically when I came to that domain. +1'ed and commented anyway. Thank you!
hey, where is your support contacts? ...
This is a superb extension EXCEPT that the settings do not sync. That's an absolute must. The entire point of Chrome is the synchronization of everything. Again, though -- a very good extension! Edit: PLEASE make this sync with the account, so that any machine will get the settings for a user. Depending on local machine continuity for cloud-oriented workflow is really retrograde. ;-)
+1 for only this tab function
Works ok, but problem is that it affects all tabs, would be great if changing of user agent would only apply to current browser tab.
It's a good one, but still not the perfect one.
