So AI made human browsing inconvenient?


I’ve never had problems getting to any Anubis site even with uBlock origin and uMatrix. You have to enable cookies and scripting for the main domain.


I pass multiple proof of work checks from Cloudflare everyday using this browser (Brave on Android). I have JavaScript and cookies enabled.

Plus, I did manage to pass it once at least.


Many people also never have problems with Cloudflare yet it causes endless pain for others. But besides that, having to enable scripts and waste resources should already be unacceptable.


Yes it did and it's only going to get worse, ai crawlers are going to continue to make running a website more and more painful. Don't blame the anime girl, she's just trying to fight the bots

This is exactly what makes this cringy. There is no reason to anthropomorphize your shitty anti-bot scripts. It's just as annoying as when software goes "oopsie woopsie" when there is an error.


She's doing her best!


You're free to fork Anubis and change it so that it displays whatever else your heart pleases.


Yes, because AI made hosting inconvenient.


AI-misia backfired and made human browsing inconvenient.

(PoW is fine, just wish it didn't spin it as an anti-AI thing.)


Not, lazy web developers that chose to put DRM on their websites did. As always that DRM hurts honest users more than dishonest ones.
