Intended use

Recope is built for legitimate development and testing purposes: checking how a website renders across browsers, verifying responsive layouts, debugging user-agent-based content branching, and general web development research.

What a user agent string does and doesn't do

A user agent string only changes how your browser identifies itself in an HTTP header. It does not change your browser's real capabilities, does not hide your IP address, and does not make you anonymous. Most websites also use other signals — behavior, headers, TLS characteristics, and more — that a user agent string alone has no effect on. See this article for a fuller explanation.

Not a security bypass tool

This tool is not designed or intended to help anyone bypass access controls, misrepresent themselves to defraud a service, scrape sites in violation of their terms, or otherwise break the law or a platform's rules. Using generated user agent strings for those purposes is done at your own risk and against the intended use of this site.

Accuracy

Generated strings are modeled on common real-world formats but are synthetic — we do not guarantee they match any specific, currently shipping browser build exactly. Don't rely on them for anything where exact accuracy is safety- or compliance-critical.
