Combating bots and multi-accounting is a common practice for many large services. Google has introduced a new feature in the official version 138 of Chrome that few have noticed: the addition of extra headers when visiting their websites and services.
Starting with version 138 of the Chrome core, the browser adds certain additional headers when accessing Google services that were not used before.
It looks like this (screenshot from the official version of Google Chrome 139):
Some of these headers are static, while others are dynamic and change depending on the browser version and operating system used. Thus, in addition to checking the year and copyright of the browser publisher, Google sites now evaluate several additional parameters at once, including browser validation and assigning a specific additional parameter to the user. This is the first time the company has used such innovations.
As of mid-August 2025, the absence of these headers in the browser does not negatively affect the registration and further operation of accounts in Google services. However, there is reason to believe that this situation may change very soon — such innovations could not be accidental.
Judging by the added parameters and their number, the update is designed to help combat multi-accounting and mass registrations. It can be assumed that in the coming months, users of browsers that do not use the new additional headers will face account bans and problems when registering.
If you are a Vision user, you don't have to do anything at all. Our browser will correctly send the necessary headers to Google services, just like the official Chrome browser does, after the next update, which is scheduled for August 15-17.
