Additional Info

There are many sort of problem we are facing with the default User agents given in our extension and using same devices leads to tough captchas on certain sites.

Custom Box

Small box of custom user agent would be Great solution for it. Which also provide freedom to the user.

Additional context

It sort of seems to be complicated for the user but believe me. Your team can make it simple for the user to just tweak some of the information in the given user agent like the version of the browser as well the build number of the devices.
These tweaks would be great for every single user to be seemed to be unique.

Hi @uditrajput03,

There are many sort of problem we are facing with the default User agents given in our extension and using same devices leads to tough captchas on certain sites.

I've seen this a lot with Cloudflare. It's easy to detect a spoofed browser profile. This issue with captchas would be even more troublesome using custom profiles.

These tweaks would be great for every single user to be seemed to be unique.

That's the opposite of what you want to do. If you're using a "FakeBrowser 1.0" profile you'll stand out a bit. Chameleon uses the latest browser profile data so you can somewhat blend in with normal looking users.

I don't intend to support custom profiles with the current version of Chameleon but will reconsider this if it's easier to maintain in the next major version.
