What if more users install the browser extension/add-on that automatically changes the user-agent string based on domain name, e.g., for Instagram it changes to a random mobile user-agent. Sorry I forgot the name of the extension.
- miles 6y agoHere are a couple of such add-ons / extensions: User-Agent Switcher https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/uaswitcher/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/uaswitcher/ Custom UserAgent String https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-user-agent-revived/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-user-a... User-Agent Switcher and Manager https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-st... and a comment by "99" pointing to an extension-free method to quickly change the user agent: https://www.ghacks.net/2019/12/23/custom-useragent-string-is-a-firefox-extension-that-lets-you-set-a-user-agent-on-a-per-site-basis/#comment-4447842 https://www.ghacks.net/2019/12/23/custom-useragent-string-is...
- 3xblah 6y agoThere is also a browser-free method. Localhost proxy, e.g., haproxy, that rewrites User-Agent header according to URL and/or Host header.
