User-Agent is like a secret code your browser shares with every website you visit. It reveals details about your browser, your operating system, and even some plugins you have installed. Essentially, it's your browser's fingerprint!

But here's the thing - sometimes you don't want to leave such a clear trail behind. That's where this extension comes in!

🚀 We created this extension to shield your online privacy and make it super easy to appear as if you're browsing from different devices.

With this extension, your User-Agent string gets automatically swapped out with a randomized one at regular intervals. You can also manually set your User-Agent if you prefer. And guess what? It's super light on your system resources, so you won't even notice it's there.

Plus, you're in control! You can customize which browsers and operating systems you want to emulate. We've even got an exceptions list for those special cases.

And the best part? It keeps you safe from sneaky JavaScript tricks designed to uncover your identity. Best of all, it's completely free and ad-free. Give your online privacy a boost today!
