I cannot use this extension because it gets me blocked from a website I use #187

When I use this extension I get IP blocked from rateyourmusic.com because my computer sends out fake googlebot web crawl requests

image Here is a screenshot they sent me on twitter of it happening, when I browsed their website. It tested with all extensions disabled and all gnome exetensions disable then enabling a few and then with them all enabled again and this only happens when pano is installed.

You can disable Link Previews in settings.

This is also so absurd that they block with a single request. :). I suppose you can also change the UserAgent in extension.js

Whats something safe to change it to?

Oh actually I will ask the devs if that is okay because I think it may violate their sites policy to do this, is there a way to blacklist just their website?

Unfortunately there is no way
