why would that “crowd” present themselves as bots by modifying their user agent string? the point is to poison someone’s agent with sponsored “knowledge” over time.
- everdrive 1mo agoThat crowd doesn't -- but they often do the following: - reject all 3rd party cookies - selectively refuse to load 3rd party domains - block javascript - block webgl - block webrtc - block canvas - use a generic user agent because "resist fingerprinting" is checked - etc. To a lot of sites, this makes you look like a bot. Most people don't go around deliberately spoofing their user agent these days. (and of course bots themselves can present whatever user agent they want.)
