> imo if the website doesn't want us there the long term value is anyway not great

Wat? You're saying if a website doesn't want your scraping their data then that data has low long-term value? Or are you saying something else because that makes no fucking sense.

Haha no, I am saying that if websites don’t want you there they will find a way to block you in the long run, so betting the product on extracting data from those websites is a bad business model (probably)

It would be really nice if you made some easy way for administrators to tell that a client is using browser use so they can administratively block that tool. I mean, unless you want to pay for the infrastructure improvements to the websites your product is assaulting.
