Hello there

The story: here in Slovakia, Orange bought rights for streaming the UEFA Champions League. There are some solutions how to watch it and one is of course watching on PC. So, I went to that Orange page and wanted to buy an access code for watching. But, the popup message appeared to tell me the streaming is only available for Windows 7+ and Mac with only Google Chrome 52+. Oh, damn. What to do now? After some thinking I realized I want somehow pretend I am an Windows user The google led me to nice browser addon for Firefox, Chrome or Opera called user-agent switcher. After installing it, I can set up mobile OS, Desktop OS and Web browser which I want. Watching TV is possible now under Linux.

The reason why I posted this info is, I never needed sth like that and maybe it would help somebody of you in future

good work stefan....

addon not strictly required:
about:config?filter=useragent.override

unfortunately(?) it is not so extraordinary... That's why this addon was created.

Probably indeed but an add-on offers more flexibility/rapidity in switching from one another user-agents.

Well done Stefan
Please note that sometimes browser restrictions are a matter of technical compatibility so it could be of no-use to try to circumvent the prerequesites.
But I think you've made your tests so if you do not have any problem while watching the Champions League then that's good for you

On my slow computer I sometimes set my user agent to android, a lot of sites mobile versions are faster.

Great to know
