False positive with Chameleon extension #171

Closed AJGranowski closed 4 weeks ago

AJGranowski commented 1 month ago

The Chameleon extension overwrites navigator.plugins, causing this check to fail and falsely flag as a headless chrome bot. Changing that line to return true causes BotD to correctly return a not-bot result with Chameleon enabled.

Environment

Firefox 128.0 (64-bit) on Windows 10

Related to chameleon#586.

It seems that BotD doesn't support spoofs, and that Chameleon is planning to address this from their side.

Feel free to close this issue.
