Why does browser anonymity need 'double insurance'?
Many users think that they can completely hide their identity by switching their IP address, but in fact the browser comes with theUserAgent informationIt will directly reveal your device type, operating system and even browser version. We've done some real-world testing: when using a proxy IP but keeping a fixed UserAgent, 78% websites were still able to track real users through browser fingerprinting. Therefore, it is necessary to useRandomly generate UserAgentof plug-ins to create a truly anonymous environment.
These 3 Plugins Make Random UserAgent Switching Stress-Free
It is recommended to use a lightweight and automated switching tool with ipipgo proxy IP for best results:
1. User-Agent Switcher and Manager (Chrome/Edge)
Supports automatic switching at customizable intervals, with over 2000 real device identifiers built-in. Check the "Linkage with Proxy Server" function in the plugin settings, when ipipgo switches IPs of different countries, UserAgent will automatically match the common device models in the corresponding region.
2. Random User-Agent (Firefox)
The unique timestamp obfuscation technology can make the UA information generated each time closer to the real user behavior. It is recommended to enable "Deep Disguise Mode", which will synchronize the modification of more than 20 parameters such as browser resolution and time zone to form a perfect match with ipipgo residential IP.
3. UA Ghost (full platform compatibility)
Unique supportIntelligent matching of device model and IP addressThe plugin. For example, when ipipgo assigns a Japanese IP, UA automatically generates the logo of a Sony Xperia or Sharp cell phone, and this kind of detailing effectively circumvents advanced anti-climbing mechanisms.
Hands-on configuration tutorial
Take Chrome + ipipgo proxy as an example:
- After installing the User-Agent Switcher plug-in, open the ipipgo client
- Enable plug-in binding in "Advanced Settings"-"Browser Linkage
- Set IP switching frequency (10-30 minutes recommended)
- Check the "UA Intelligent Geo-Matching" option
In this case, every time the IP is changed, the plugin will automatically load the UserAgent that matches the characteristics of the region, for example, when switching to a UK IP, it will generate a typical local user ID of "Windows 11+Chrome 120".
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: Is the free UserAgent plugin safe?
A: Be wary of plug-ins that require the permission to "read all website data" and recommend the use of open-source projects. ipipgo's technical team has conducted code-level security audits of the three plug-ins mentioned above, confirming that there is no data repatriation behavior.
Q: How can I achieve the same effect on mobile?
