Generally poorly programmed scrapers will just keep trying with the same useragent and blocking that useragent or the IP or serving a GNU zip bomb works.

You do indeed have not much chance against a properly programmed slow scraper without advanced heuristics.


It's fair game to punish chrome, Android and iOS and macos and windows users, but you shouldn't target "Mozilla", as GNU icecat has a useragent that contains that.
