How to remove User-Agent for Firefox
There is a way to do this without any addons:
- enter "about:config" into the URL bar. Press Enter.
- create a new entry with key=
general.useragent.override
and an empty string as a value. - If you use an old version of Firefox, you also need to set the key
general.useragent.enable_overrides
totrue
.
This way your browrer will not send any "User Agent" at all. You can check this by doing:
- open firefox network view with
Ctrl Shift Q
- load any URL you want
- click on a web request and see the "Request Headers" on the right. There should be no "User-Agent" entry if you've done it right.
P.S. Your browser may still be leaked if you have JS enabled for a site. This is because each browser has its own rendering capabilities, supported formats etc. The described steps remove "User-Agent" request headers, that's all.
