Description

See how your site behaves in various browsers by tweaking the user agent.

The user agent tells a website what browser (including the version) you are currently using. By detecting the user agent, websites can change their behavior appropriately (such as by disabling features where not supported).

Features
- Choose from a set of preset user agents
- Use a preset as a global user agent, or paste your own user agent
- Set site-specific user agents to see how a specific site behaves with a specific user agent

Unagent does not collect any data, and only rewrites the User-Agent header where necessary.

NOTE: Websites may still use fingerprinting techniques to determine what browser you are using.

iOS is still identified

The app can change the user agent string, but Web sites still correctly identify the browser and OS. Web sites have advanced browser identification methods and do not rely on the user agent string. So you will still see the mobile version of the Web site and Web sites that prevent you from viewing them on mobile browsers, such as Disney+, will still force you to use their app no matter what you change the user agent string to. Therefore, this application has no benefit from a practical standpoint.

iOS is still identified by sites

Although the user agent is changed, Web sites still correctly identify that the browser is running iOS. Web sites have more reliable methods of browser identification than the user agent. So you still see the mobile version of the site and sites that prevent you from using an iOS Web browser, such as Disney+, still prevent you, no matter what you change the user agent to.

Doesn’t seem to work

Like other users commented before me, websites still identify the iOS Safari browser as a mobile browser, even though Unagent is set to different browsers on macOS.
