Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block Known Agents Browser?
Judge it by its behavior. This category ranges from harmless testing tools to abusive automation, and Known Agents Browser's purpose depends on whoever runs it. Block it if it targets login pages, submits forms, or crawls faster than a person reasonably could. Almost none of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for Known Agents Browser.
Does Known Agents Browser Follow Robots.txt Rules?
No. Known Agents Browser is not expected to follow robots.txt directives, so a disallow rule only communicates your preference. Enforce the block with firewall or server rules, then use Agent Analytics to verify that its requests stop.
Does Known Agents Browser Access Private Content?
It can access whatever its configuration allows. If someone gives Known Agents Browser credentials, it can reach anything available to that account. Without them, it is limited to public pages.
