What it is

Mojeek's crawler. Mojeek runs one of the few genuinely independent web indexes — not a front end over Bing or Google — so it is one of the few blocks that removes you from an index nobody else can put you back into. Its documentation states it obeys the first record whose User-Agent contains MojeekBot, falling back to *.

What blocking it costs you

You leave an independent index that other privacy-focused search products draw on. Small traffic, disproportionate long-term cost to web plurality.
