Is anyone out there using the FasterFox Robots.txt block (feature addded to latest FasterFox release) ? I added it to my existing Robots.txt file. I was just curious if anyone could see any detriments of this...?

You mean you are using this in your robots.txt: User-agent: Fasterfox
Disallow: /
I do not see any real disadvantage in using this. It does not change anything for the non-Fasterfox users.

It could disappoint some Fasterox users, but, if you add that in your robots.txt, that's probably because some of them overloaded your system.

This is not related to user-agent issues.
