Netcraft also has a handy online tool: Site Report for checking what any given website is running. Download: Chrome \ Firefox \ Opera \ Edge
Spoofs browser's User-Agent string, making it appear that you are on a different device, browser and version to what you are actually using.

Some websites show different content, depending on your user agent. Download: Chrome - Firefox - Edge - Opera - Source
