Chrome on Linux users reportedly flagged as bots amid Meta Muse concerns

Original: Is there a way to block Meta Muse from a web site without blocking all Google Chrome on Linux or running a fingerprintin

A discussion among web publishers and Chrome on Linux users is asking whether Meta's Muse crawler or agent can be blocked at the server level without resorting to fingerprinting scripts that would also block legitimate Chrome on Linux visitors. Some users report being caught by bot-detection systems more often, and site owners are weighing how to distinguish AI agents from real people.

Why now: Web publishers are trying to block Meta's AI crawling while avoiding collateral damage to real browser users.
