Google calls Pale Moon a robot Topic is solved

My using NT 11.0 is just me poking fun – I am never going to use Windows 11 – and I don't think it makes any practical difference.

The point is, it may trip up their check and think you're a bot for showing an impossible UA.

I don't know if this is going to be allowed here, but the post to which I reply is really very useful, and I'm within the scope reached with that post, so I hope it will be.

Revealing!
So:
Among the frontends to Bing is also

Bing:
DDG

Ah, right. I myself mostly use Brave search and Mojeek.

Looks credible.

And, if I may add (this though is not related anymore to clearnet browsers.

And Mojeek seems to be the best option, currently. Just:
How about onion location? Does it have one, anybody knows?
Like DDG has the
https://duck...{a-long-string}.onion
to use with Tor Browser.

Revealing, the links you gave!

I WAS going to file a complaint with the Canadian Competition Bureau this week. But I've recently started seeing the "bot screen" on Chromium, which I use for Reddit. So no grounds for a favouritism complaint.

I usually used Pale Moon for searches. With the "bot screen" I started using Chromium more, and now see the "bot screen" there too. On Reddit, especially the science-based sub-reddits, you need to have cites/references to back up your statements, or else you get called out. Throw in the fact that my fibre connection is de-facto fixed IP, and Google sees lots of queries from the same address. I've tried DuckDuckGo. The replies often resemble talking to "Level 1 Support" at some ISPs.

This is not a Pale Moon problem. I apologize for wasting your time.

How do you figure?
Chromium is an open sourced fork, so that's grounds for complaints if anything
Especially if it's Ungoogled Chromium

I have avoided Google Chrome proper. So I have no evidence that Chrome versus Chromium are treated differently. Your message prompted me to do some research. It seems that even Chrome users are getting this. See Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX78D8drcqI This seems to be a recent Google idea.
