It's puzzling how mild the reactions are to Anubis compared to the people reacting to seeing one singular Cloudflare captcha checkbox. I'd much rather a checkbox than a brief CPU-intensive hashing session.

It also took insanely long on my iPhone 16. "Made with heart in Canada" but configured poorly.

their anubis difficulty is wayyy to high; 6 is overkill

Yeah, it's painful.

I get this crap when browsing on desktop a lot as well, principally because I stubbornly use Firefox as my main browser, and I habitually use a VPN when I connect my laptop to unsecured or even secured-but-accessible-to-large-numbers-of-people WiFi networks.

Like, seriously, bot detection "specialists", fuck off: I'm not a bot but your bot detection software IS shit, and I DO resent your shit software draining my battery and getting in my way. Learn to do your jobs properly, will you?

And don't come crying to me about how the problem you're trying to solve is "hard". I don't care: you chose it, you chose to considerably worsen the web browsing experience of millions of people globally, nobody made you. So go and find a different job if you're incapable of doing the one you have.

And if it's so "hard" why does your entire solution seem to be predicated on anyone's a bot if they're not running Chrome, or they are running an adblocker, or they appear to be from an unusual country that doesn't match their system language? Seriously, is this the level of sophistication you hacks operate at? To solve your "hard" problem?

You are extremely lame. Get out of my way.

Yeah, is it trying to mine bitcoin or something? Anubis usually takes a second but here I waited a minute and got 20% through on a modern phone.

happy to report my bots have no trouble with anubis or any other pow mechanism, little bit of deno and i'm right through.

Took less than a minute in my 5 year old xiaomi phone. It did take way longer than other Anubis sites I've seen.
