I’m getting really tired of “verify you’re not a bot” checks everywhere.
I understand these checks help prevent bots, but they seem to appear on so many websites now. Does anyone else find them frustrating?

why is it a good thing ?
Techaro’s Anubis is software that challenges bots without prompting the user directly. Unlike reCaptcha, it’s not a tracking utility that collects data or trains LLMs. It’s just a computational burden to make bot scraping less economical, according to the burden on the website. This protects the website from excessive traffic while still serving users without pestering or tracking them.
