@phnt Hmm, what's wrong with the Anubis checks?
@Brahvim It's just malware that does nothing it advertises to do properly, inconveniences every visitor by bruteforcing hashes and scrapers don't care anyway as that level of compute is literally free on various cloud platforms.
Besides the fact that it's whole premise is "getting rid of AI scraping", while being written by someone that uses LLMs. Quite ironic.
Besides all that, I'm not waiting a minute and a half to read an email thread or documentation page.

@phnt That is definitely a fact about Xe Iaso (developer of Anubis) that is well known.
Regardless, I'm sorry it's taking THAT long for you. For me, it often does not. Even on Firefox for Android.
Yeah, maybe stick to Cloudflare then...!
(No, wait, there *is* a better FLOSS tool, right?!)
(I forgot its name, somebody did mention one once.)

@Brahvim You don't have to be sorry, not your fault. It usually takes something like 5-20 seconds at worst. Something was royally screwed up on the kernels configuration or fork that made it so slow. If it at least solved the issue it tries to, I wouldn't be so angry about it. The default config can still be bypassed by omitting Mozilla/5.0 from a browser's user agent.
At least the kernel webmaster fixed that in the last year.
There are alternatives like "Basedflare" (formerly haproxy-protection) and go-away which is an Anubis fork. Both are heavyhanded by default, but at least fix the trivial bypass.
