I know Google is awful, but the browser works so well that it has shown me that the Pinephone can run decently well once the software optimization improves.
Just install `` instead of the regular version. I recommend using Ungoogled Chromium to avoid as much of the Google BS as possible.

You may have to make your selections in landscape mode until you get the mobile user agent string set. From the home screen select the extensions in the top bar (looks like a puzzle piece) and select the extension not the three dots on the side of it and you will see the selection drop down.
Is there a trick to getting to the dropdown, maybe it's hard to see on the Pinephone screen?You have the correct extension. However, I'm not seeing a drop-down list of user agents to select from, only extension settings such as blacklist and whitelist mode. I've set the flags option and installed User-Agent Switcher and Manager. I'm trying this, and already had installed through flatpak. After it opens search for Freeze User-Agent request header and enable it then close the browser.

There should be no hint of Arch64 or desktop in any of them or it's leaking. Do a leak test by searching What is my browser? look on several of the result sites that show up and look at your User Agent string. Your browser should launch in mobile now.
101 Android 10 and at the bottom left select Apply (all windows)Ĭlose the browser and relaunch. Open the extension and choose Chrome and Android in the drop down. Open Chromium go to settings-more tools-extensions search for and install Use-Agent Switcher and Manager. All the other distros are leaking after recent browser updates.Īfter Chromium opens type chrome://flags in the address bar and hit enter.
User agent extensions alone will leak through Java. For what it's worth, Mobian Firefox ESR is the only browser with a working Android user agent right now out of the box. If you don't your browser user agent will leak and if your service provider identifies your device that way it may blacklist you and deactivate your account! AT&T has been doing this. It's very important that you do this before you do anything with the browser.
