What "verified" means for GoogleOther

For GoogleOther, "verified" means DataSaaS compares the request IP against Google's published ranges. A request carrying this user agent from any other IP is recorded as unverified.

Track it

GoogleOther fetches raw HTML and never runs JavaScript, so no browser tag can see it. Install the DataSaaS server-side package to record every request and verify the ones that publish IP ranges.
