Frequently Asked Questions
What is a User Agent string?
A User Agent string is a line of text that your browser sends to every website you visit. It contains information about your browser name, version, operating system, and device type.
Example:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
Why would I need to generate a fake User Agent?
Common reasons include:
- Web development — Testing how your site looks on different browsers without switching devices
- SEO analysis — Checking how search engines see your website
- Web scraping — Avoiding blocks by rotating User Agents
- Privacy — Reducing browser fingerprinting
- Content access — Some sites serve different content based on User Agent
Are the generated User Agents realistic?
Yes. This tool generates User Agent strings that match the actual format used by real browsers. The version numbers, platform strings, and engine identifiers are all accurate and up-to-date.
How do I use a generated User Agent in my browser?
You can change your browser's User Agent using:
- Browser DevTools — In Chrome/Edge, press F12, click the three dots menu, go to "More tools" > "Network conditions" and set a custom User Agent
- Browser Extensions — Install a User Agent switcher extension
- Programmatically — Set the User-Agent header in your HTTP requests when web scraping
Can websites detect that I'm using a fake User Agent?
A User Agent alone can be spoofed easily. However, websites may use additional fingerprinting techniques like JavaScript APIs, screen resolution, installed fonts, and WebGL to verify browser identity. For basic testing purposes, changing the User Agent is usually sufficient.
What's the difference between Googlebot and a regular browser User Agent?
Googlebot's User Agent identifies it as a crawler:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)
Websites often serve different content to bots—for example, showing the full content without paywalls or login prompts. This is why SEO professionals test with bot User Agents.
Why do mobile User Agents include "Safari" even for Chrome?
This is historical. Early websites would check for "Safari" to enable certain features. To maintain compatibility, Chrome and other browsers include "Safari" in their User Agent strings. This is called "User Agent spoofing" and dates back to the browser wars.
Is my data safe when using this tool?
Absolutely. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No User Agent strings are sent to any server. There's no tracking, no logging, and no data collection of any kind.
Can I generate User Agents for older browser versions?
Yes. The custom generator includes multiple version options for each browser, including older versions. This is useful for testing backward compatibility or accessing websites that block newer browsers.
