    Why does default config check Mozilla specifically?

    {
    "name": "generic-browser",
    "user_agent_regex": "Mozilla",
    "action": "CHALLENGE"
    }
    

    Guess that’s why I’ve seen Anubis check screen quite a few times.

      Afaik, almost every browser uses “Mozilla/5.0” as part of the user agent, Mozilla mentions it as well in developer docs about User agents, it’s a historical compatibility thing apparently.

          it’s even stupider, it’s more like why there is no windows 9 because of programs doing stuff like if os.name.startswith("windows 9") then print("this program is not compatible with windows 98") end
