X-Agent

Chrome/Chromium extension to spoof user agent. Modifies both outgoing requests 'User-Agent' header and javascript object including navigator.appVersion!

This extension doesn't have any UI and its fairly dumb, yet it works great! But on the other hand it doesn't have any tracking/Analytics code in it, and its short enough for you to review literally in 1 minute.

For maximum privacy use chromium and disable all plugins on chrome://plugins/ as they may easily disclose your platform.

For fresh user agents visit: Most common User Agents (updates daily)
