Random User-Agent - Change Your User-Agent Periodically

Random User-Agent is a Firefox add-on that allows you to automatically change your user agent after a specified period of time. This add-on helps protect your privacy by hiding your real user agent. The user agent is a string of information that identifies the browser and device you are using, and by changing it periodically, you can make it difficult for websites to track your online activity.
