What's changed

  • Improved bot detection:
    • Headless browsers (e.g. Headless Chrome) are treated as bots again. They were filtered before v3.5.4 and slipped through after the switch to matomo/device-detector, which classifies them as regular browsers.
    • Requests claiming a modern Chromium browser (Chrome/Edge/Opera 80+) that lack the Sec-Fetch-Mode header are treated as bots. Every real Chromium browser sends Sec-Fetch-* headers, so this catches scripted clients with faked browser User-Agents.
    • Browser prefetch/prerender requests (Sec-Purpose, Purpose, X-Moz headers) are no longer tracked as visits, since the visitor may never actually see the page.
