- Anubis is used to protect websites from AI companies aggressively scraping, which can cause downtime.
- It employs a Proof-of-Work scheme similar to Hashcash to deter mass scraping by making it expensive.
- The goal is to buy time for better fingerprinting and identifying headless browsers to avoid challenging legitimate users.
- Anubis requires modern JavaScript features, so plugins like JShelter must be disabled for it to work.
- The current version of Anubis running is v1.21.3.
