Switch User Agent - Firefox Add On
 

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59

This works great for switching my user agent and defeats all the online tools that check a browsers user agent and other identifiers.

Was wondering what you guys thought about adding it into the stealth arsenal to confuse ebay just a little bit more.

I thought it would be good for making accounts.



:fight:

Safari for Mac has this, too, if you enable the Develop menu. IPburger's "advanced" section thinks I'm using IE for Windows! :)

I made IPBurger.com in half a day.. Lol it needs some updating.

Regardless switching user agents isn't necessary. There are only a few combination's of user agents out there, so what's the use in tracking it other then for marketing purposes.

I tested this a while back and eBay doesn't really check this. This is maybe because most people have user agents that are the latest version of firefox and the OS on there is either XP or Vista.

All I want to say is nice pic Laser!!!!

eBay may detect user agent spoofing, and make suspicious. Read these:

I was going to spoof my user agent, but not now.
