This user agent is used by Chromium-based browsers when running in headless mode, for example via Puppeteer or Selenium. In our case we have tens of thousands of requests with this user agent from IP addresses owned by Microsoft (it could be users on Azure?).

The user agent appears like this:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) HeadlessChrome/88.0.4298.0 Safari/537.36

This user agent is used to make programmatic requests and should
not be considered as human users for statistics purposes. Adding
here until the COUNTER-Robots community decides if they want to
add it to their list.
