    Her face is the response to years of enshittification; without her, the modern browsing experience would suck much harder. Glory to Anubis!

    Anubis is open source, self-hosted, doesn’t block me just because I use a VPN and the later versions work even with JavaScript disabled!

    Fuck Cloudflare, long live Anubis!

    I much prefer to see Anubis rather than some bullshit captcha with a grid of AI generated slop that requires 30 clicks to pass.

      I have a self bound rule to never do the multi-tile single image ones. Fuck those so much, they’re always wrong. I will refresh for as long as it takes to get a grid of smaller images that may also be hard but I at least have some better grasp over.

          I had a captcha a few days ago that was something like “click on all the pictures that go with this” with a picture of a saucepan and the grid was food items and other things.

          I pointed my phone at it and asked Gemini and almost instantly it said “the potato in the top left and the carrots look the middle of the bottom row”.

        Oh is the person riding the bicycle part of the bicycle this time? What do you want, the corner of the pedal that is just barely in the box, or the out of focus blur in the background that might be a bicycle or it might be a bear. It’s hard to tell.

    I love how toxic she is to corporate professionalism.

    Its also perfect marketing, the software is free with the mascot hardcoded in. The official way to change it is to contribute to get an enterprise version.

        It’s just a silly anime girl showing up on first page load. If you’re deathly afraid of seeming unprofessional, that’s gonna do your head in…

        He means that many people in a corporate environment wouldn’t expect a anime girl with a magnifying glass popping up on your screen, that could reflect badly on your company. Just imagine some CEO sharing his screen in a presentation and his background is a screenshot of some hentai scene or something. It wouldn’t make you seem very professional in the eye of the other corporate people.

        That’s why companies that use anubis will usually pay for the subscription so they can replace the mascot with something else.

    I don’t mind the second it takes. Better than the service going down because of AI bots.

      Anubis - an anti-scraping plugin for websites. I believe one of its claims to fame is placing LLM crawlers into “tar pits” (preventing them from eating website resources)

      It does show up whenever you load into the site though, so I guess that makes their mascot stick in everyone’s head.

        Thanks for explaining! ☺️ I’d seen this before I think when going to the gnome repos and was curious what it was

      TBF Anna’s just provides a dataset for people who want it and don’t directly host any of the content (they’re just the index). Anubis probably isn’t as necessary for them.
