## Briefing
- DataDome: DataDome publishes an analysis of Meta's Muse agentic browsing tool, highlighting that it does not self-identify and can bypass fingerprinting-based defenses.

## Why it matters
As agentic browsing becomes mainstream, anti-bot systems that rely solely on passive fingerprinting will struggle to distinguish legitimate automated traffic from malicious bots. This forces the industry to adopt behavioral analysis and intent-based detection rather than static signals. For practitioners, it signals a shift in the cat-and-mouse game between bot operators and defenders.

## Watch next
Will other major platforms follow Meta's lead in not declaring agentic traffic, and how will anti-bot vendors adapt their detection strategies?
