I’m getting really tired of “verify you’re not a bot” checks everywhere.

I understand these checks help prevent bots, but they seem to appear on so many websites now. Does anyone else find them frustrating?

Tbh I never had to wait much with anubis, neither with my phone or computer; websites that make me wait a lot (like the arch wiki IIRC) then give ya access without having to do the check again;
Also, Anubis unlike Cloudflare does not block me just cuz i have NoScript installed

    How modern is your phone? Anubis is killing my old Samsung A72 from 2020 - long waits, draining battery. On the laptop it's less of an annoyance, I've got the laptop connected to mains anyway and it is fast enough.

    That's interesting, the honor 6 lite should be 20-30% faster than my old A72. Noticeable but not a lot. Maybe it's the Firefox browser I'm still clinging to, and I should finally give in and change to Google Chrome.
