Provide filtering for headless browser #17763

Closed beankylla closed 3 years ago

beankylla commented 3 years ago

Summary

Hello,

as asked in the forum (post without answer), we would need to be able to filter or exclude headless browsers It is possible to see when a headless browser visit comes but there is no way of filtering / excluding it. (unless this is already done when filtering out bots etc? (did not find anything on the subject)

I think most headless browser are not humans so should not really be an issue.

Thanks for the consideration!
