This is how we detect if something is not a crawler:

config/site_settings.yml

main


      
          unicode_usernames:
            default: false
            client: true
            validator: "UnicodeUsernameValidator"
            area: "localization"
          allowed_unicode_username_characters:
            validator: "UnicodeUsernameAllowlistValidator"
            default: ""
            locale_default:
              cs: "[ěščřžýáíéóůúďťňĚŠČŘŽÝÁÍÉÓŮÚĎŤŇ]"
              de: "[äöüßÄÖÜẞ]"
              fi: "[åäöÅÄÖ]"
              ja: '[\p{Han}\p{Katakana}\p{Hiragana}ー]'
              ko: '\p{Hangul}'
              zh_CN: '\p{Han}'
              zh_TW: '\p{Han}'
            area: "localization"
          reserved_usernames:
            type: list
            list_type: compact
            default: "admin|moderator|administrator|mod|sys|system|community|info|you|name|username|user|nickname|discourse|discourseorg|discourseforum|support|all|here"

Traditionally all browsers ship the pedegree with the user agent string:
