Do you support robots.txt so administrators can opt-out of your service?

Not yet - this is a TODO and we'll try to do it asap!

Avoiding captchas and disrespecting robots.txt. How does it feel to advertise your spam service? Are you proud?

The pricing page was higher in priority

Hey- we built Notte for legitimate workflows like testing and approved automation; not abuse. Like other session provider tools (Browserbase, Hyperbrowser, Anchor, etc.), we encourage respecting site terms and robots.txt, and we’re adding built-in support for it soon to enforce this policy inside Notte.

You should also support Web Bot Auth and make it required to have a customer-specific abuse contact in the user-agent header so that people can send invoices to those customers for when your customers cause downtime due to excessive scraping.

Yes, that’s a very good point! We’ll look into this for SDK usage. What do you recommend for the public repo where it's harder to enforce runtime headers?

No compliance? No support.
