Stable version (5.2.1168.83)

I understand you've implemented blocking for web crawlers on https://static.centbrowser.com/ to prevent automated access. However, this blanket blocking approach is affecting legitimate use cases.

Many users, including myself, rely on monitoring tools like changedetection.io, changemon, and politepol to track new releases and updates of your software. These are legitimate monitoring services that help users stay informed about your product updates, not malicious crawlers.

I would like to suggest implementing a whitelist for common, legitimate monitoring user agents such as:

changedetection.io

changemon

politepol

Other similar release monitoring services

This way, you can maintain protection against unwanted crawlers while still allowing users who want to monitor your releases to do so through these established services. Blocking everything prevents your users from conveniently tracking when you publish new versions.

Could you please consider adding these monitoring tools to a whitelist? This would be a better solution than blocking all automated access entirely.

Thank you for your consideration.
