You yourself describe the solution.
Extensions or browser integrations of the Anubis task.
- dpark 2mo agoHe didn’t describe a solution. He described a (crappy) workaround for humans. But the fact is that this cannot and will not stop bots. The people running bots can do the same, even faster.
- karlgkk 2mo agoHe did in fact describe it.
- dpark 2mo agoI’m left wondering if we disagree about what the problem is. The problem here is not merely that Anubis is inconvenient to humans. It’s that and also that it’s not very effective for blocking bots. Anything that makes it easier for humans to get past will also make it easier for bots to get past.
