Hello, On Tue, May 11, 2021 at 10:22:27PM -0400, Gene Heskett wrote: > Is AppleWebKit a bot? "AppleWebKit" is found in the user agent of web browsers on macOS and iOS, including Google Chrome. https://developers.whatismybrowser.com/useragents/explore/layout_engine_name/webkit/ Since anyone can set any user agent, however, malicious bots often pick the user agent of a regular web browser. So while you may see bots using a user agent setting that contains that string, blocking clients with that string in their user agent is not typically helpful.
