Summary

My User-Agent allows users to customized the browser's User-Agent string. By default, changes made to the user-agent string aren't permanent, they're made on a per tab basis -- meaning, you can have one tab having one user-agent, and another tab with another. Once you close the tab or window, the changes made are gone, poof, gone with the wind. If you need a more permanent solution, you could also bind a user-agent to the domain -- meaning, you could set up each domain to use a different user-agent.

Most people won't ever need this, it's primarily a tool for developers when the need ever arises.

Safety

My User-Agent may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
