Grepped a couple of very small sites I have and can't see it. Has anyone else seen it and could share their UA/IP? Cheers

I just checked and don't see anything from Brave on either my blog or the directory.

Huawei (looks like a bot) has been real busy on the blog. Yandex bot has been very busy on both.

Cheers Brad

Just wondering given their claim of crawling 40M URLs a day but their UA is not obvious

That's a lot of crawling so I'm assuming they're not using a unique UA. At the moment I'm thinking the mimic a Chrome UA and see them from Hetzner IPs from the 5.116/16 range
