pclinger / chrome-extension-user-agent-switcher Goto Github PK

Hello to everyone.

After several attempts I've been able to install successfully Google Chrome (not Chromium),following this tutorial on FreeBSD 13R:

https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/...-google-chrome-linux-binary-on-freebsd.77559/

It runs without problems,it's a shame that it does not allow to install extensions,because a bug that has been fixed for chromium,but not for Google Chrome,as u can see below : (and yes,I'm running the latest version,97. I mean,this bug has been fixed for chromium version 97,but not for google chrome 97).

this is the bug still open : https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=258573

To overcome the bug and even because I want to sync and access my google account,I've installed the UserAgent-Switcher in developer mode (I've cloned your github and I've chosen to install the extension unpacked).

The tutorial about how to run google chrome at the end,it says :

Note: Syncing or accessing your google account won't work. It will display:
"Couldn't sign you in This browser or app may not be secure. Try using a different browser. If you’re already using a supported browser, you can refresh your screen and try again to sign in."

To fix this, change your user agent to Firefox, for instance, and login to Gmail (keep it logged in). Then change your user agent back to default and turn on sync. [User-Agent Switcher and Manager](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher-and-m/bhchdcejhohfmigjafbampogmaanbfkg) extension is what worked for me.

that's exactly what I did,but unfortunately it won't work for me. Two different user agents are detected and the default one is again the google chrome and for this reason I can't login to my gmail address and I can't sync. You can see the video below that I've recorded to understand what happens. Maybe I made some mistake trying to change the user agent and I'm not realizing what's wrong. Please help,thanks.
