What’s your browser’s User Agent?

We’ve been hit by AI crawlers again to the point where they bring down the 
entire Trac instance if we don’t block them. They typically arrive with User 
Agents of outdated browsers, so I’ve increased the minimum required versions 
recently (e.g., any Firefox < 130 gets blocked).

If you’re using an uncommon browser I can maybe add an exception (we’ve done 
this previously for TenFourFox), but I’d need the User Agent string to see how 
I would go about doing that. Alternatively, you can probably bypass this by 
installing a plugin to fake your User Agent and send one that matches a modern 
up-to-date browser.


HTH,
Clemens
