User Agent JS Fixer to Definitely Hide your Browser ID Anonymous 2016-06-03 13:40:12 Post No. 54889595 [Report]

Your User Agent (UA) switcher add-on does not change the details that can be probed by JavaScript. Originating from the web model of Progressive Enhancement, JavaScript can be used for things such as to probe a browser to detect its capabilities and identification.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-js-fixer/
I use this add-on to complement the functionality of any other UA add-on. There are also other add-ons that can be used to change the UA on a per site basis. It seems that this add-on only changes the browser ID code, so be aware of that if you want to change operating system or others, as well.

Why would you want to spoof other browsers?

Are you doing something illegal?

I'm spoofing it now because I'm using Firefox instead of the default IE on a school computer. I'd rather not stand out.

Also, it is useful for websites that will use JavaScript anyway to identify your browser. It's useful if you want to force a website to let you use the browser you want (some will say your browser is incompatible) or use a different version of the site.

Not only this but some adware sites may use exploits according to browser/os version. So additional security.

Fun fact: Some prices change and are cheaper if the website (in this case amazon) thinks you use iPhone or other stuff.

what is your guys main user agent? Mine switches every refresh but my main one when I have my switcher off is

Fuckoff/5.0 (GoFuckYourself; rv:9001.0) Gecko/20100101 fuk/9001.0
