  While you can do this, it’s not clear to me that you should. There are a number of additional laws having to do with perjury and misusing goverment sites and while I would undoubtedly agree with you if were you to assert the application of those laws to the utilization of a user agent switcher is a ridiculous overreach, I am just as certain I have no desire to be on the hot-seat the day we all find out.

    Oh wow I didn’t know that. I’ll have to double check for the states that are relevant for me.

    I imagine many people naively install a privacy extension and unknowingly have altered useragents

      Imagine the government coming after someone, demanding they give Google their fair share

        Yeah, because career-minded prosecutors and judges never fuck over little people for minor, technical, harmless violations of the law. 🙄
