User agent status improving usage

Unread post by tucuman » 2025-02-28, 13:33

Hi guys! I was looking for an user agent switcher and found User agent status addon. Truth be told, it improved a lot the usage on some webs as facebook and reddit and want to share that with all of you. It stills struggles a little bit on facebook, but in reddit is working a little bit less slow. Very cool

Thanks. Nowadays I don't use this add-on I developed much anymore, but glad to know someone appreciates it! :thumbup:

it's an awesome job! The only question I have it's about the colours of the circle besides useragent. What are the meanings in every case? (blue-ish, purple and red)

Blue means the default UA is used, purple is when a vendor-provided site-specific user agent override (SSUAO) is used, and red if its your own SSUAO for the current domain.

vendor provided here is one that's built into PM by default for a site that refuses to work otherwise so yeah. The color coding is for you to know when a non default one is used or if it's one that you changed yourself.
