Meanwhile, the POV bots should be getting:
(I have to set it one up for my Fediverse stuff one of these days as well)
I keep seeing this on serious sites and it makes me happy
Such a weird thing that it essentially discriminates Mozilla based browsers though, I'd expect bots would follow the most-used-approach. So yeah, this does not make me happy..although the anime-girl kinda does
Due to historical reasons, every browser (and software pretending to be a browser) has "Mozilla" in it's User-Agent string.
This is a User-Agent string for Google Chrome on Windows 10:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/137.0.0.0 Safari/537.36Is it blocking you? I pretty much exclusively use Gecko at this point and don't have an issue yet.
What's the problem with Gecko browsers exactly? The only issue I have is disabling JShelter for new domains.
At first I was getting it for some proxy services and fediverse services, and didn't think much of it cause I thought it was just some thing small projects used instead of cloudflare/google. But yeah now I've been seeing it on more "official" websites and I'm happy about it after I took time to read their github page.
I especially love it since I don't have to cry over failing 30 "click the sidewalk" captchas in a row for daring to use a VPN + uBlock + Librewolf to look at a single page of search results. I can sit on my ass for 5 sec and breeze through, assured that I'm not a robot 🥹
What software is this?
It was created by Xe Iaso in response to Amazon's web crawler overloading their Git server, as it did not respect the robots.txt exclusion protocol and would work around restrictions.
Jeff wouldn’t do that!
Even a wikipedia page lmfao
If humans can't view the page, so won't bots.
