RandomUA
Changes your User-Agent string to a sensible-looking string which is different for every request. Having a different UA on each request make it a lot easier to evade some tracking schemes.
Supports excluding certain domains, and mobile-like UAs.

| 2019-03-14 | Emily Fluharty (FF add-ons) | | Hello. This is a great and useful add-on. But some websites go crazy if a user has a User Agent changing many times during one session and stops working or blocking an account. It would be better if the random User Agent was chosen not for each request, but for each domain. Need option "Random UA per domain". When this option is enabled, when opening a new tab for a domain - a random User Agent will be selected for this domain if there are no previously opened tabs for this domain, - the previous User Agent for this domain will be taken if there are previously opened tabs for this domain. Thank. |

| 2018-07-14 | Firefox user 13403383 | | Very good work. *Please see if you can add On/Off button somewhere easy to access. *Also if you can add a button to let the user decide when to change the UA, for example I'm on a website with a specific UA and when I load the next page of the same website then the UA changes which it is going to be very suspicious if the system is smart. Thank you again for the great work. |
| 2018-07-02 | Gal Anonim | | Great add-on to go along other obfuscating addons. Gotta keep the privacy! Big thing this add-on is missing is simple turn on/off button. Sometimes I visit a legit website which does stupid practice of User Agent based content serving and I need to turn the obfuscation off in order to use it properly so ON/OFF button which could go into the top bar would be great. |
| 2017-12-08 | psgrimm | | I'm not a programmer or a tech guy -- but I am concerned about canvas fingerprinting. Question: After installing this extension I re-ran Panopticlick (https://panopticlick.eff.org/) yet my test results did not improve. Is this test not recognizing what RandomUA is doing? My assumption is that RadomUA is creating a new, unique fingerprint and that maybe Panopticlick isn't geared to recognize what is happening. Any explanation would help, thanks! |
