UASwitcher: Switch Between User Agents Easily

A free browser extension for easy user agent switching, useful for web developers testing sites in different browsers.

What is UASwitcher?

UASwitcher is a handy browser extension available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge that makes it easy to change your browser's user agent string. The user agent string is a bit of information browsers send to websites they visit that identifies details like browser version and operating system.

Web developers often need to test their sites in multiple browsers and operating systems to ensure compatibility. By changing the user agent string, UASwitcher can make a site think you're visiting from a different browser than you actually are.

The extension has a simple dropdown menu interface that lets you easily switch between commonly used user agents like Chrome, Firefox, Safari on Mac and iOS, Edge, and Internet Explorer among others. There are also options for custom user agents.

Being able to quickly change the user agent is useful for web developers and testers to check that sites work properly across different browsers. It saves the time of installing multiple browsers while giving an experience very close to that of the actual browser.

As an open source extension with regular updates, UASwitcher is a handy tool for any web developer working cross-browser. It's available from the Chrome Web Store, Add-ons for Firefox, and Microsoft Edge Add-ons websites.
