alt Hacker NewsRegarding native code, the current crop of solutions seem to work well enough for now.
I just quoted a toot in another submission, adding it here since it is relevant:
We apologize for a period of extreme slowness today. The army of AI crawlers just leveled up and hit us very badly. [...] It seems like the AI crawlers learned how to solve the Anubis challenges. [...] However, we can confirm that at least Huawei networks now send the challenge responses and they actually do seem to take a few seconds to actually compute the answers. It looks plausible, so we assume that AI crawlers leveled up their computing power to emulate more of real browser behaviour to bypass the diversity of challenges that platform enabled to avoid the bot army.
