Almost 29 million requests from AI crawlers defeated by essentially one simple check: if the user agent contains Chrome/ or Firefox/, and doesn't have sec-fetch-mode, it's going into the maze.

Billions of dollars poured into AI, yet, their crawlers are broken by two ifs in an nginx config.

If this all wasn't so sad, I'd laugh.
