Crawler user agent switcher

You should be able to set your user agent to various different crawlers (like googlebot, bingbot etc.)

If a site is using dynamic rendering, it's the only way to test its working as expected.

Yes, I've seen it, what I'm saying is different search engine user agents should be within the list of predefined user agents.

Hi Sam! But our extension can do that already! Have you checked the "user-agent switcher" tab?

Nick Churick where is this "tab" for the switcher? I can only see the dropdown with the 2 agents.

The setting should be available for the actual crawler of the site, so the ahrefs crawler uses the custom useragent. Doesn't help if it's only available in a browser extension
