## What is BrowserMask for Safari?

BrowserMask is a Safari Extension that lets you browse websites as if you were using another browser by changing the User Agent Safari uses. This way, you can make any website believe it’s being shown in a browser like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

With BrowserMask, you can choose a global default masked browser or customize it per site. Your settings are saved automatically and applied every time you visit each website. This is especially useful for websites that claim to require another browser but actually work in Safari, or to avoid annoying pop-ups and redirects. For example:
• Set macOS Safari as the masked browser on reddit.com in iOS Safari to avoid the “Open in the Reddit app” pop-ups.
• Set Microsoft Edge as the masked browser on bing.com to use Bing Chat from Safari.

BrowserMask supports macOS, iOS, and iPadOS.

Notes:
• You can enable the BrowserMask extension from the Extensions section in Safari settings.
• BrowserMask includes multiple popular browser User Agents built-in, and you can also add custom ones.
• BrowserMask can also be enabled in Web Apps created from Safari on macOS.

Privacy by Design: BrowserMask works completely on-device and does not store or send any information outside of the protected app sandbox.

## Key features

- Change User Agent to simulate other browsers
- Global default masked browser setting
- Per-site custom browser masking
- Avoid app pop-ups and redirects

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2025-11-24*

I tried this with google opal in safari and it doesn't work.

### 5/5 — 报错，设置不生效，能不能解决一下

*2025-07-08*

在“_locales”文件夹中找不到default_locale。

**Developer response:** Hi! This issue has been fixed on the last release. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Can’t set useragent to chrome

*2025-06-24*

On making UA to chrome by extension, download option not visible but it does when using developer mode’s UA setting

**Developer response:** Hi! Can you contact me about this issue with more details at app-support@pvieito.com? Thanks!

### 5/5 — Anfangs etwas hackelig aber…

*2025-05-29*

Am Anfang eine Website hinzuzufügen war schwierig, da die meisten Websiten einen auf eine Error Website umleiten, man muss beim hinzufügen also sehr schnell sein. Hab den Trick jetzt aber raus. Die App macht genau was sie soll. Super.
Eine manuelle Eingabe einer Website wäre noch toll. Und Deutsch als Sprache. Ansonsten Top Top Top

### 4/5 — iPadで「なろう」表示するとPC表示なのが解決

*2025-04-21*

iPadのSafariで小説サイトを見ると、強制PC表示になり読みにくいのを解消したくて導入しました。
基本的にうまく動作して居ますが、時々PC表示に戻るので、デフォルトに設定→iOS表示に再設定が必要になります。

### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all

*2025-01-30*

Paid the money, doesn't work.

**Developer response:** Hi! Can you contact me about this issue with more details at app-support@pvieito.com? Thanks!

### 1/5 — Didn’t work as expected

*2024-12-23*

Unfortunately, this extension didn’t work as I have expected on any websites I have wanted it to work (such as Amazon Prime Video). Although I have activated this extension, these websites continued to recognize my iPad Safari as it, and required me to install their apps. 

(For Japanese readers 日本の方へ)別の方のレビューで、「PCからのアクセス以外はアプリをインストールさせられるサイトに効果抜群」だと書かれていますが、私が確認したウェブサイトでは、この機能拡張を使用しても使用前とまったく変わりがありませんでした。おそらくサイトの方もユーザエージェント以外の情報でユーザのデバイスを識別していると思われます。ですのでこの機能拡張は、アプリのインストールを避けるために購入を検討されている方には適さないことが多いでしょう。

### 2/5 — Cant set global user agent

*2024-12-13*

Work but need to set per site.  Need global setting features

**Developer response:** Hi! Support for setting a default global User-Agent has been introduced on BrowserMask 1.4. Thanks for the feedback!

### 5/5 — iPhoneで動作確認

*2024-10-30*

SafariでUserAgentの書き換え可能でした。
ドメイン毎に設定できるので、毎回オンオフする必要がなくてとても良いです。

PCからのアクセス以外はアプリをインストールさせられるサイトに効果抜群です。

### 4/5 — Missing one cruise feature

*2024-10-26*

The app is great, it works as intended however it’s missing Global user agent by default for all the sites.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the feedback! Now you can set a global default User-Agent with BrowserMask 1.4.
