Cydog Toolkit

Description

This extension is a user agent switcher. It switches your user agent. A user agent is part of the content negotiation process where you send information about your browser to a website you are attempting to render. A user agent tells that website how to properly render you content based on your browser type. Unfortunately, user agents also include your operating system and device-specific information, which websites do not need to render you content effectively. Enter Cydog Toolkit.

There are many user agent switchers on the internet. Most of them help you change your browser user agent, making you seem like a different browser in order to gain privacy. Unfortunately, the user agents they set for you to use only make it look like you are gaining privacy while you are actually still statistically unique, making internet privacy less possible. The Cydog Toolkit user agent switcher provides a multitude of privacy-focused user agents that give information about the browser type (minimally necessary) while withholding information on your operating system, setting them as "unspecified." This has not been done before on any user agent switcher available on the Chrome Store and is part of a movement to get the development community used to changing their behaviors by re-shaping the usage of user agents on the world wide web with a user-first-adoption approach.

This user agent switcher also allows you to emulate a bot, which allows you pretend to be one of the many bots that automatically scrapes the internet for data. This can cause websites to send a challenge Captcha because you look like an autonomous program instead of like a human being trying to get access to website content. Imagine if websites didn't include you in analytics because it threw out your data, as it thought you were a bot.

Welcome to ultimate privacy. This extension will continue to be updated with new and unique privacy features, making it the ultimate toolkit for the space webfarer. Cydog is here to help.
