      G'day everyone

      After Opera "helpfully" deleted all my extensions, I'm looking for a user agent switcher again. I used to have one that was fairly simple but allowed me to specify a specific string for a specific web site. I've tried a few others that now come up in Google searches, but most of them assume the user wants to use the same string for all web sites, or select a user agent string whenever he visits any web site. Which user agent switcher do you recommend? Do you know of one that allows me to specify a specific string for specific web sites, but continue to use the default one for all other sites?

      Thanks
      Samuel

          I've set Opera to automatically update to the latest version, but that doesn't solve my problem. Some web sites refuse to display a site properly or at all in Opera when Opera identifies itself as Opera.

          For the moment, it appears that this one would work:
          http://spoofer-extension.appspot.com/
          It's not entirely intuitive, and I almost uninstalled it before I realised how to use it: the extension's main functionality is on the second page of the settings, labelled "Permanent Spoof list", and you have to right-click (not left-click) the toolbar icon every time you want to add a site.

            We are talking about extensions here, right? So when I said that you should try the last update one, I was referring to the extension, not Opera.

              @leocg Yes, but if I can't remember the name of the extension, then I can't "try the last update one", now can I?

                You are searching for one, right? So search for ' user agent' in the extension store.
