GoogleOther

There are two agents accessing with the same IP:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; Nexus 5X Build/MMB29P) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/134.0.6998.88 Mobile Safari/537.36 (compatible; GoogleOther)
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; Nexus 5X Build/MMB29P) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/134.0.6998.88 Mobile Safari/537.36 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)

The bottom one is properly recognized as "Googlebot",
but the top one is recognized as either GoogleOther or as a regular "Chrome" user, not as a bot.
Do you have any plans to add this agent to your bot classification system?

That is a curious user agent indeed.

grep-ing all my servers, I've only gotten requests from "GoogleOther" without the pretending to be a browser. This user agent appears to be Google R&D specific.

I'm going to do some research on this tonight I think.
