Dude you just stole my heart with this addon. This is working perfectly as I wanted to. I want to add more User-Agents and OS and others for that I need your kind help. I have emailed you to the support email listed for this addon page.

*** I'm seeking for your attention dear admin of this addon sir ***

I need your kind help to add more User-Agents, OS, Versions etc.

Can you publish an Updated Version soon? Or else You can help me to add manually?
I'm really not aware of user-agents for different browsers and OS.

*** Waiting for your response ***

Sorry for the late response, I didn't see your message earlier unfortunately. The list of shipped User-Agents was recently updated. I do not plan on extending the shipped User-Agent list, since maintaining it is quite a bit of work and don't want to add any obscure entries.

You can, however, add you own entries in the settings (Menu → Add-Ons → Extensions → User-Agent-Switcher → Preferences). In order to find the strings you need I'd suggest looking at http://useragentstring.com/pages/useragentstring.php which has a very big list of those (they are not always up-to-date however).

Sincerely, Alexander

    Firefox on mobile doesn't have a feature to permanently keep "Desktop site" on, sometimes when the website is unloaded from memory and reloaded the website goes back to mobile view which can be frustrating. This extension is pretty much a fix to Firefox's lack of such feature.

    Simply doesn't work on mail.com. That was exclusively what I needed it to do, so that's a total failure.

    Works great to fix YouTube illegally slowing/breaking functionality on browsers other than Chrome. However, it completely breaks functionality in Google Docs, making it impossible to type in a document while the add-on is activated. As someone who does a lot of work in docs, this is a really significant issue, so a fix would be appreciated!

    Version 1.4.67 stated as 'Corrupt' by AMO, unable to update, unable to install from download.
    No GitLab account so I report the issue here.
    Best in its category, been using it for years.

    Great add-on. You can apply user agent switches per domain. It worked at first try on YouTube. The icon colour will change accordingly whether there is a switch applied per domain or general. Way clearer than 'User-Agent Switcher and Manager' by Ray.

    wow. this is better than User-Agent Switcher and Manager and UI is better. Also that works only single website if want. Great job 👍

    It works in Mozilla Firefox 129.0b9 x64, but it is sad that it is impossible to directly edit the list of domains and the User-Agents assigned to them.

    User-Agent Switcher is just great and exactly what I was looking for.
    It does exactly what the name suggests, it also works on Firefox for Android and it is Free Software (GPLv3). Also, I appreciate the extensive description.

    Firefox for Android does not have an option to always show PC version in the settings, but this add-on allows you to always show PC version, which is very useful for tablet.
