Phony, as well as extensions to the desktop version as User Agent Switcher, changes the identifier with Firefox comes when visiting a website. Android is very interesting to have this tool, since there is nothing detect us websites pretend you download and then install your APP with the extension * .apk changing the user agent, this is solved, without bothering again and accede no problem to its website.

In the latest version 3.5, gives the following credentials between user agent:

- Deskotp Fiefox. It shows a version of Firefox for desktop, namely 14.

- Android Phone.

- Android Tablet.

In Firefox and other browsers there is a button to request a site that displays the version of the website for desktop, the Start button is active -estando Android encuentraen the browser-as for any reason, just show your version Mobile and this does not look good, or does not conform to our manner of use; in many cases, this request is ignored, so use Phony and then select a desktop version (Microsoft Desktop Firefox or IE) may be the solution.

There are sites that are only displayed with certain user agent discriminatory manner. Changing the credential and we let pass without a problem viewing, the reasons may be of several types: An alleged security (as we see it is not), promotions aimed at a particular target consumers, or simply put a stop thinking in existing browsers at the time, but the basis of nomenglaturas not updated browser.

In other sites can only be accessed with an updated version of certain browsers (usually the most popular), then it is not advisable to change the default "Default" user agent.
