UserAgen

Source: User-Agent-Switcher (Also in your Addon’s in Firefox.)

Ok so I’m going to cover a Plugin today.

First released in Jan of 2011, I’m finding it VERY useful for testing the website in other Views and Modifications.  Also it’s making it very easy to see what the BOTS see on the website.  Lastly, it’s allowing me to take a look at my site as if I were a Mobile phone user.  So I can work on correcting the view a user may see when connecting to the site with their device of choice.  We currently started testing some modifications in the Chatroom here on technojunkyard that will allow our mobile users a better experience.  It’s still in TESTING phase at this point and if all goes well it will move to a FULL use.

Back to agent switcher, this useful tool allows you to imitate a device or another browser so a site will deliver you the look and feel INTENDED for that Browser or Device.  This makes Webmastering for those other devices almost a DREAM as it becomes so much easier to see what the user is experiencing.
