Many / most bots use Chrome on Linux user agent, so you think it's OK to block Chrome on Linux user agents. That's very broken thinking.

So it's OK for them to do shitty things without explaining themselves because they "have access to more data than we do"? Big companies can be mysterious and non-transparent because they're big?

What a take!

Can't the user agent be spoofed anyway?
I think they also fingerprint the browser. So changing user agent alone won't help.
