There was a new bot not identifying as a bot that was scraping the site, causing slowdowns in the last hour.
It is using fake browser user agent, with old version numbers.
For now I blocked it (and for a few minutes maybe most of the non-Firefox browsers, sorry :whistle: )

Crap, it seems that my new filter is a little too wide :ohwell:
- What browser do you use?
- What identifier is returned when you visit this page: http://ksle1.antp.be/user-agent.php ?

I first blocked all what contained "Safari/537.36" but it seems that even if this is an outdated version of Safari, actually many Chrome-based browsers report that info.
So I widened it to those containing ".0.0.0 Safari/537.36" and ".0.0.0 Mobile Safari/537.36" but at least Edge seems to have that.
So I need your input.

Blocking this should be safe, I hope:

IF you still have the error, try closing your browser and opening it again. It probably has put in your session the info that you are a bot :whistle:

I'm on Opera (v95.0.4635.90) on my old Windows 7 laptop - Opera stopped Windows 7 updates some years back so it's fossilised. Have had no real problems today - some sluggishness but no more than what can happen whenever for whatever reason.

I usually use Chrome. My PC was having issues but later on my laptop I had no issues. Both have been updated recently for Chrome. I haven't had a chance to check the PC again.
