I have a bot I wrote to help me with various web tasks that are too tedious manually. I just tested it against this and it says "isbot: false".
edit: looks like it only detects bots that overtly identify themselves as bots, e.g. Googlebot -- it's designed to identify clients, not as some sort of security device
Good tool. I wish Google had gone even further with Chrome in reducing the information in the user agent. It seems like user agent is primarily used as a browser fingerprinting signal.
It can only tell you things actually included in the UA string itself as it's just be a parser and not a "knowledge engine"
