alt Hacker NewsWhat is the cost of Anubis for honest people? I’m legitimately confused by that one.
I don’t like the cloudflare checkbox or click all the buses to access this website but Anubis you just sit there for a split second and do nothing.
That’s what people like about Anubis.

For me to open 5 pages, which is more than often when I search with google etc, that all have Anubis, will take more time for them to load than that I ask chatgpt and it generates an answer from web search, at least in some cases. It is 100% virtue signaling that has no technical fundamentals to deter scrappers, which likely implement better solvers and have virtually unlimited amount of time and compute to spare, it just punishes me who have a body and a limited time budget. Humiliating even for a split of a second. Now I just skip any website that I do not care enough and has Anubis; the ones I have to visit, I will remember their mindless choice forever.
