| Nov 8, 2015 at 9:57 | comment | added | Stephen Ostermiller♦ | Using robots.txt to prevent Googlebot from crawling content is the Google approved way of doing things. It is never cloaking. I am not saying that you should block scripts when serving requests from Googlebot. I'm saying that you should use robots.txt to instruct Googlebot never to crawl those scripts in the first place. | |

You seem to be saying to only block these scripts when you are serving requests from googlebots. This sounds dangerous as it could get misinterpreted as cloaking. | |
