I was able to get UA installed with the second link. The first link just doesn't work for me with the security settings. I will have to spend some time with it to understand the correct settings. Thanks ...
-
I still can't find the link you mentioned. At the User Agent Switcher and Manager website I can't find any 'version history' link. What security settings would these be? ... in the browser profile or at the MSFN site profile?
-
OK ... understand. Thanks for all the help and explaining things.
-
Yes, understand ... I did check and see that the UA was changed. I wanted to try the UA that you supplied a page back. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0 To see if the 'cloudjunk' sites might work better.

I seem to have a new problem using the link that you supplied. I don't recall ever seeing a message like this before in Mypal. I was able to install those three User Agent programs at the 'Firefox Browsers Add-ons' page to try. Message from your link from the top of the Mypal browser. 'msfn.org Mypal prevented this site from asking you to install software on your computer.' It may be a Profile setting, I have looked in my Mypal profile but am seeing nothing.

Went back to the Firefox add-on page and the Sand Agent download is visible again. User Agent by SandVPN Change the identity your browser announces — User-Agent, client hints and navigator properties — always as one coherent set. Per-site rules, a free-form User-Agent field, and a built-in detection diagnostic. No account, nothing collected. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent/ Firefox Browsers Add-ons https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ About this extension: Some sites still refuse Firefox. SandAgent lets you present a different browser identity — and, unlike most user-agent switchers, it keeps every related value consistent with the one you chose. EVERYTHING FROM ONE SOURCE The User-Agent header and navigator.userAgent are produced from the same value, so they cannot contradict each other. The same goes for the platform, appVersion, vendor, the Sec-CH-UA client hints and navigator.userAgentData. A mismatch between them is the first thing any detection script looks for, and it is the flaw most user-agent switchers ship with. TWO KINDS OF PROFILE, CLEARLY LABELLED Stealth presents you as a different Firefox — a different version, or a different operating system. Because the engine really is Firefox, nothing in the environment can contradict the disguise. Compatibility presents you as Chrome, Edge or Safari. This unblocks sites that read the User-Agent string, which is what most of them do. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO Compatibility profiles do not fool bot-detection systems, and the add-on says so in its own interface. The TLS and HTTP/2 fingerprints are produced by Firefox's network stack, below any extension API, and services like Cloudflare cross-check them against the announced User-Agent. No browser extension can change that. If you want a quiet browsing experience on protected sites, the honest answer is to stay on a Firefox profile. THE RIGHT PROFILE, SITE BY SITE Keep your real Firefox everywhere and put on a Chrome profile only where you need it. A rule covers a domain and all its subdomains, and both the headers and the JavaScript follow it. YOUR OWN USER-AGENT Paste any string. SandAgent uses it verbatim and derives the matching values from it. If it cannot read the string, it says so instead of guessing — no bundled list of user agents, so nothing ever goes stale. BUILT-IN DIAGNOSTIC One click replays, on the current page, the checks a fingerprinting script would run. It reports what is coherent, what is not, and which engine-level tells remain out of reach of any extension. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No telemetry. No data collection of any kind. SandAgent makes no network requests of its own; it only modifies requests your browser was already making. Available in English and French.

AS ... tried to download from the site and I got this: The add-on downloaded from this site could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/ User-Agent Switcher and Manager von Ray ...

OK ... very good thank you. I just finished posting some additional information to my original post inquiry. I will download and try the one you just posted. I never heard of it but it may better than the one I just found. The one I found seems a little complicated but I did finally figure it out.

Hi ... I am looking for a 'user agent switcher' for Mypal 78.0.3. I have tried a few older ones that I found but they don't install. The message is always 'appears to be corrupt'. I have been looking at the Firefox add on page and a general search but have not come across anything that works. thanks ... add: I have went back through all the user agents listed at a Firefox add-on page and I found three that actually do install. Strange that I did not find any before. Firefox Browsers Add-ons https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ This one seems to install OK and you can change the user agent. Sand Agent ... however I went back to where I found it a short time ago and it is no longer there. I am sure it was there at the site but now I don't know exactly where it was. The other two are still there and do install: User-Agent Switcher by ntninja User Agent Switcher by thewheat I do like Sand Agent but it's only been installed a short time and as I mentioned earlier ... I can no longer find the add on. ...

It Seems a Lot Like Dead Internet Has Actually Come True "Agentic AI activity is driving a lot of the browser activity you're seeing." By Frank Landymore Published Jul 28, 2026 https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/dead-internet-theory-come-true The infamous dead internet theory was originally a conspiracy that posited that the vast majority of the internet was run by bots and thinking machines. Most accounts you saw online were really bots masquerading as people - all part of some nefarious scheme to control humankind by keeping us isolated and divided. That last part is far-fetched, but the core of the idea - that bots outnumber humans online - is inexorably starting to feel weirdly grounded. Fortune did a roundup of the latest data on the makeup of internet traffic, and most of it points to humans now being a quaint minority. "There’s a lot of missing pieces of information, but a lot of the observed data suggests the same thing, which is like there is more bot activity," Rudy Yang, a financial tech analyst at Pitchbook, told Fortune. "Agentic AI activity is driving a lot of the browser activity you’re seeing." This should come as no surprise. Bots have been everywhere on social media for a while now, and more and more people are wielding little posses of AI agents to do stuff on the internet on their behalf, ranging from conducting research to shopping. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman infamously said he was worried that the dead internet theory was coming true last year, seemingly without a shred of self-awareness. Further corroborating this new paradigm, Cloudflare announced in June that 57 percent of webpage requests were being made by bots, marking the first time that bots made up the majority by its own metrics. Bots have long been ubiquitous, but AI agents are doing the most to reshape the web. One report from the cybersecurity firm HUMAN found that traffic generated by AI agents surged by 7,851 percent year over year, Fortune noted. All those AI agents aren’t generating ad impressions, which is how a lot of websites keep the lights on, while putting a strain on those websites’ servers. "They consume the web completely differently than humans do," Yang told Fortune. "It’s almost like an entire new category, customer category, was created, and it means a lot for businesses because no one, as a business owner, is going to want to silo themselves from being able to serve a completely new customer segment." They’re also changing what we see on the web, too. A report published in October from the SEO firm Graphite found that over half of all new English-language articles on the internet were written with AI. It hasn’t helped that Google, the internet’s de facto steward, has made a hard pivot towards making the internet less navigable by humans. Now, the focus is on having a chatbot to dredge up answers, instead of providing a list of links to websites they’d find in its search engine.

AstroSkipper ... thanks for the link. I probably would not have found it anytime soon.

Any other way to get this download? I am not a member of that group. Why is this not available at the Feodor2 / Mypal68 website? That's where I got version 78.0.2 released in March. I've gone through pages at the site and not really sure what I am supposed to be looking for ... feodor2 or Mypal68. ...
