Changing user agent string can help sometimes access restricted or paid content for free.
Example:
bloomberg.com have some articles that you cannt read for free, you will need a paid subscription to have access to them, but you can access and read them for free without paying a subscription by just changing user agent to Googlebot
Try to access this article
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/featu...-horror-movies and you will notice that you cannot read it until buying a subscription. Now install this extension
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...bampogmaanbfkg and use it to change your user agent string to Googlebot then click Apply then refresh the web page, notice now that you have full access to the article and you can read it.
