A new Chrome Web Store user agent named Google-CWS was added to Googlebot's user-triggered fetchers. The Chrome Web Store fetcher requests URLs that developers include in the metadata of their Chrome extensions and themes so the store can retrieve referenced resources. The exact user agent string for this fetcher is "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Google-CWS)". User-triggered fetchers are initiated by users to perform a fetching function within a Google product, meaning the fetch originates from a user action rather than an automated crawl. Developers should account for this agent when diagnosing fetch behavior or access logs.
