AI agents and web scrapers surely

I would expect AI scrapers to fake a windows user-agent tbh.

Why? Isn't it likely that it'll just report e.g. "python-requests" for the user agent, and it's up to the server side to decide what that means?

That user agent would make them easily identifiable and therefore blockable. It's more likely that they are trying to hide as a legitimate user.

That will be labeled as "other" in those cases

Just hard to believe 6%. That's a huge number. Hopefully it's true🤞

Chrome OS is down, they probably got reinstalled with regular Linux. The rest represents about 1% of the total market share, which could probably be Steam Decks.
