Hi,
I saw your random user agent add-on for firefox, very nice.
Our company needs a slight modification of this script that would give common user agent strings in a realistic distribution:
BROWSERS
IE7: 23%
IE6: 15%
IE8: 5%
Firefox: 47%
Chrome: 5%
Safari: 3%
Opera: 2%
OS’s
WinXP: 68%
Win2000: 1%
Win7: 1%
Vista: 18%
Win2003: 2%
Linux: 4%
Mac: 6%
Almost all the safari should be on mac, and the opera on linux.
Could you make this for us in a version to be installed in firefox on a debian linux box, for $100?
Let me know, I think it should be quick for you. If you don’t want to do it could you please send me the source code so I can do it myself?
Thanks alot,
Al
Hi,
Very nice thing. But please make UA really random – on every FF instance let there be different UA string (if needed, make it configurable in the options). Right now the UA stays the same on every FF windows i open additionaly.

I tested that some weeks ago, but unfortunately there were sideeffects. On gmx.de a famous german freemail website, every time a popup appears, you got kicked out and need to login again.
It’s possible to include this feature optional in one of the next versions, but I don’t reccomend that for normal useage.

Hi,
Thanks, optional is great. One more feature request – possibilities to add or use your own set of UA strings.
Very Nice!
Please, add change language local of User Agent
does not work here. mac osx 10.4.11 firefox 3.5.1
user agent does not change
i get useragents like this:
Mozilla/5.0 Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; de AppleWebKit/525.13 KHTML, like Gecko Chrome/0.2.149.27 Safari/525.13
does this makes sense ?
system is intel mac / firefox 3.5.1
hello, nice idea
is it possible to add a random user agent on every refreshed site? every time i visit new site (or refresh old one) it will generate new string.
thanks and good luck

HI,
I just tried this plugin on Firefox3.5.6 and it seems to dont work properly. By the way, I liked the idea of this plugin, and I liked the idea of the comment number 8, of having a random user agent on every refreshed site, is it possible to see in the next version of this plugin?
Thanks a lot.
Hope the update for 3.5.6 will comming soon !!!
Thanks !!!
This is FANTASTIC, thank you!!!
*re-firms tin foil hat*
I left a suggestion on the to-do page: yep, auto change every page refresh or every x minutes would be so much better!!
thanks for your coding.
I like the add-in but on my Firefox browser the add-in will only show different versions of Mozilla. I was hoping it would spoof the other browsers in the way suggested by Al in comment #1 so that the results would reflect the real-life distribution of browsers and OS’s.
