Can user agent be spoofed?

In user-agent spoofing, bad actors modify elements of the user agent string to obfuscate details of their traffic. For example, making high traffic volumes from a single device look like lots of individual advertising engagements from multiple devices.

How do I bypass user agent?

Press Command + Shift + P (Mac) or Control + Shift + P (Windows, Linux, ChromeOS) to open the Command Menu. Type network conditions , select Show Network conditions, and press Enter to open the Network conditions tab. In the User agent section disable the Select automatically checkbox.

How do you spoof a Chromebook?

But don't worry; you can easily “spoof” or modify the user agent of a Chromebook to make a website think you're using something other than the Chrome browser on Chrome OS. The easiest way to do this on a Chromebook is to install the User-Agent Switcher for Google Chrome extension.
