This tool is especially designed for those who are tired of outdated website blocking capabilities. Convenient, the tool is usable on browsers used on both desktop and mobile devices.

This application works by altering an HTTP request's user-agent. However, that's not the only thing this app can do. It can also change the Javascript objects of a particular page. Any potential bugs or problems are effectively dealt with by simply clearing all of the cookies. Then, the user can change back to Chrome to reset and work around any bugs.

User Agent Switcher is most commonly used by developers. However, even casual users without much expertise can benefit from the app's capabilities. If one compares User Agent Switcher to a lot of similar competitive apps out there, one of the major advantages to be aware of is that there are many more features available here. This app makes it possible to use certain URLs that might otherwise be able to blog the user. The app is capable of making user-agent changes automatically so that the app user doesn't have to consciously arrange for this.

Those who are using the app need to know how to use an option to put on new and fresh user-agents. Also, the option to alter or look at the import settings as well as the spoof list is important. These options can all be accessed by using the app's drop-down menu.
