What our analysis found

User-Agent, used by 2,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in June 2022.

Analyst notes

The extension is a straightforward User-Agent switcher that uses declarativeNetRequest to modify the User-Agent request header based on user-selected presets stored locally. All code reviewed makes no outbound network calls to any external server — data flows only between chrome.storage.local and chrome.declarativeNetRequest. The publisher ([domain withheld]) holds a Google trusted-publisher badge, has malicious extensions in their portfolio, and chrome-stats rates the likelihood of malice as The ML score of 0.00 confirms this is a false positive from our own model; the 'High' risk from our risk-engine is driven solely by the broad host permission required for a User-Agent header modifier to function correctly across all sites.

Read the publisher’s full description

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 strings TESTING VERSION ONLY: (Missing options to come. Which one first? Please dont rate low just yet) We are developing distraction-free extensions since 2012 for 500,000+ people https://github.com/ImprovedTube/ImprovedTube
