Next, choose the platform you want the extension to spoof using the dropdown list under “Intended Platform”:

Click on the “Update” button, and you will see the following message:
- Beyond this point, your Javascript-based platform will be spoofed to what was specified whenever you visit the targeted domains.
- If you are adding new domains into the list, there is an additional feature where you can choose to open every newly added link in a new tab with the chrome extension after updating them.
