alt Hacker NewsAnubis flatly refuses me access to several websites when I'm accessing them with a normal Chromium with enabled JS and whatnot, from a mainstream, typical OS, just with aggressive anti-tracking settings.
Not sure if that's the intended use case. At least Cloudflare politely masks for CAPTCHA.

I thought that Anubis solely is proof of work, so I'm very curious as to what's going on here.
What do you mean "refuses"? The worst it should do is serve up a high difficulty proof of work. Unless it gained new capabilities recently?
Are you sure the block isn't due to the authors of those websites using some other tool in addition?
