Browsing agent from Perplexity
Perplexity Computer
In short
Perplexity Computer is Perplexity's browsing agent. Perplexity Computer has no robots.txt token, so robots.txt cannot address it and the crawl cannot measure a block rate. The operator publishes nothing a site can check. Verisoul reports it works in a cloud browser with no declared identity and now also inside users' own Chrome tabs.

Allow and refuse lines
This agent has no robots.txt token, so there are no lines to copy. Without a token, a published list or a signature, a site owner cannot tell it from an ordinary visitor by request alone.
Refusing or allowing in robots.txt states a preference. For this row the operator or its documentation says robots.txt may not govern the fetch, so enforcement belongs in your WAF.
