[Param Miner] Cachebuster in the User-Agent headers causes CloudFlare 403 block

Mopam | Last updated: Oct 08, 2022 09:51AM UTC

Param miner automatically adds a cache buster to the user-agent, this gets blocked by CloudFlare. I've attempted everything, please how can I stop this behaviour??? Is there a workaround ???

Hi Mopam, Just to clarify, do you no longer wish to use the Param Miner extension or do you still wish to use the extension but want to alter the way that it behaves?

Hi there Ben, I wish to keep using the extension and make it actually work of course. Kettle told me to use the 'Add Custom Header' extension as a temporary fix to overwrite the User-Agent, I actually still have to try it out (that was my first attempt and it didn't work, perhaps my mistake), but regardless this could be a good new feature on the extension...
