Where can I learn more about using this Firefox extension? I've installed it, but it hasn't changed the results of (https://trilinder.pythonanywhere.com/image.jpg).

I see I am able to black list pythonanywhere.com.

That's weird. The extension should definitely work with the image, as that's what I used when building this quick demo. Does the content of a site like this update?

Here's a six-minute YouTube video explaining how to use it

TL;DW: Click on the extension icon, use the drop-down lists to find a browser and OS, select a pre-configured user-agent string from the list, and click "apply (container)" or "apply (all windows)". Having your user-agent string change randomly with each request is possible but requires writing a bit of JSON in the options.
