    I've been running version 1.2.1667 for a long time because it parsers Google at a much faster rate than newer versions.

    Now it seems Google is not completing requests with the mobile user agent from that version (ios 10.2.1)

    Using version 1.2.2117 of A-parser using same preset and proxies the parsing speed is roughly half of the older version (1.2.1667).

    1) Is there any way I can update user agent Google parser uses in 1.2.1667 (even pay for a custom update)

    2) why are newer versions slower? It's been like this for over a year.

    Thanks.

    There is no such way, it is impossible

    Because in older versions, due to changes in Google’s layout, not all results are collected, or the pagination pass does not always work. Because of this, you get the impression of faster work, but in fact you get an incorrect (incomplete) result.

    I’m not parsing any data just downloading full result page.
