Like Random Agent Spoofer v..9.5.6, ScriptSafe tool (https://www.andryou.com/scriptsafe/) for Chrome-based browsers also aims to hinder browser fingerprinting, but unlike it and others privacy tools it combines two quite different services that are usually only available separately as it would illustrated in the Mozilla Firefox‘s add-on collection, NoScript and the Random Agent Spoofer itself. As many kinds of leakages occur even behind VPN services be them paid or not, in order for VPN to be more effective, and not by using just Private mode, a more comprehensive privacy can be achieved also by turning on all or some of these add-ons: Decentraleyes, Privacy Badger, Disconnect, HTTPS Everywhere. I may mention few things related to Random Agent Spoofer despite it may lack only few features.

As a feature request: A settings-profile feature – in order to switch on demand between several profiles (at least eight). Not to be confused with the Random Agent Spoofer’s Profile tab section which is composed from the computer type (Desktop or Mobile) and the OS and its supported web browser. Here by “profile” is meant a user profile, which actually covers all the settings contained in the section tabs (Profile, Headers, Options, Whitelist).

Just as examples of profiles: – One would be with default settings. – All the others profiles would contain specific customized settings.

As Random Agent Spoofer may block some contents as it should with certain settings, it also may block a website partially or not that is a regular site and whose some of its contents are consequently worth to be displayed properly. But because there is currently only one profile available that can be modified for all website, such a profile has to be modified as often as a site requires different specific settings in order for its contents to be displayed and that in accordance with the user’s expectations.

Switching between customized profiles would at last avoid the persistent issue that currently is to permanently have to modify the settings just for the purpose of displaying a single website. That feature if none would be most useful to see implemented in a future version.

As an enhancement request: The characters’ sizes in the panel are far to small; characters are barely readable. In fact their sizes are smaller than the characters’ sizes related to each other installed add-on whose icon is displayed in the bar menu. By comparison the Profile section tab related characters’ sizes are properly readable. (see attachment)
