       Yes, Anubis is bad: https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/anubis.html. AI scrapers are also bad.It is literally cutting off your nose to spite your face. The AI scrapers are adapting quickly anyway. I don't have a good answer, but I promise you this: we are not going to win an arms race with these people. We will literally make the web unusable for *ourselves*, and they will always have the resources to get past these things.

       (I hope I don't have to explain that killing the Web for people who don't run JavaScript is a bad thing and a non-starter.)

       @lindsey @jonmsterling as i was explained in nixos matrix a while ago: the AI kiddies' scrappers predominantly do run full headless browsers and execute javascript, which is why my librewolf is always stuck at Anubis, but my w3m and lynx are usually let right past it without any javascript
