Store description excerpt
Short excerpt from the public Chrome Web Store listing; full copy is available on the official store page.
User-Agent like never before! Set User-agent by domain, URL, wildcard, keyword, regex (or global). Keep Mobile page or desktop version. Stop cookie alerts, Login prompts, Paywalls, Adlocker notifcations. This allows you to precisely keep the mobile site of one URL but the Desktop version of another! You can use bot agents (like bingbot, googlebot) to automatically avoid cookie notifications, paywalls, adblocker notifications on news sites or any site. And login walls on Google, Youtube, Facebook, Pinterest, Quora and so on. This even makes most sites load faster! (if you use a bot user-agent, please help collect exceptions which might not show disadvantages/locks ) You can also easily set this up to test different URLs on one site with every different use agent (especially If you make websites yourself) - Unlimited Possiblities Chose the most popular user agents or set custom user agent…
