- The website uses Anubis, a Proof-of-Work system inspired by Hashcash, to prevent downtime caused by AI companies scraping aggressively.
- Anubis aims to make mass scraping costlier while minimizing impact on individual users, serving as a temporary measure until better fingerprinting techniques for headless browsers are developed.
- Users need modern JavaScript enabled for Anubis to work, and plugins like JShelter may block it, requiring their disablement for this domain.
