Summary

Analyze keywords

Have you ever wanted to surf the web as a bot? Ever wondered what a bot gets to see online that you don't? In their latest online work, !Mediengruppe Bitnik allows you to become a Baidu bot to find out.

The number one search engine in China, Baidu uses web crawlers that extensively scrape the web for content for their search engines. Only what the bots see is indexed, for discovery later by users searching on Baidu.

Refuse to be Human allows you to install a web extension that changes your browser’s user agent to match that of the Baidu bot, giving you access to what is referred to as the ‘grey web’ – a layer of content only visible to bots. This simple web extension allows you to experience the web in a novel way: You will see fewer ads and less taylored content and you will be able to access websites and archives usually paywalled.
