After 84518 copies of 'please-contact-me.html' they gave up it appears. Btw, I don't mind bots and search engines or even AI trawling this data. But I do hate the stupidity of trying to mirror the entire site dumbly. Also, it messes up my lovely graphs ;-)

I've been doing these measurements for years now, and I just don't see the overwhelming dominance of Chrome that people are assuming. This over the past 60 days for well-visited articles. Note the solid presence of Safari, plus Edge for some (government) subjects:
