Random User-Agent Description
If you’re concerned about your computer’s security while surfing the Internet, you might be familiar with terms such as VPN, proxy and VPS. However, one way to protect your privacy is rarely mentioned in the mainstream, and that is modifying your user agent.
Random User-Agent can help you change your user agent in a few easy steps by simply activating its switcher on the spot or scheduling it to do so after a set period of time.
What are user agents
Understanding the concept behind user agents and why changing them might be beneficial for your online privacy is important, otherwise you might think it’s bogus and stick to the traditional ways.
While you’re online, every browser leaves a fingerprint behind that consists of the name and version of your browser, the name of your operating system and its version, a list of plugins that you’ve installed on your browser, as well as other data that might give your identity away.
Switch your user agent on the go
Random User-Agent can help you change the current user agent on the go in a simple manner. Given that it integrates itself into Chrome, there’s no need for a tedious installation process or lengthy configuration sessions.
You just need to access the extension’s icon, enable or disable it on various domains and press the “Get new agent” button in order to switch your UA (User Agent) to another one. If you want, you can pause the switcher by pressing the corresponding button.
Handy configuration menu
If you need to tweak some of this extension’s options, you can do so by either right-clicking it and choosing “Options” from the menu or using the extension’s dedicated menu and clicking the “Open Settings” button.
Here you can enable the agent switcher, set it to change your UA after a specified time, change the UA on browser startup, sync the extension between browsers, set a specified user agent and change the switcher behavior by choosing your desired browsers and operating systems from the list.
Handy User Agent changer for Chrome
All in all, if you’re looking for a simple way to switch your user agent while using Chrome, Random User-Agent mightt be exactly what you want. It lets you change your UA on the spot, schedule the change to happen after a given time and even choose your favorite browsers and operating systems.
