@Dragon@toast.dragon2611.net @cartocalypse@norden.social @drgeo@mamot.fr @doctormo@floss.social That's the idea, but since you do not have to do it for every page and you can do the PoW much faster outside Javascript, passing Anubis is probably a negligible cost:

It probably works due to other factors like crawlers not executing arbitrary Javascript and not implementing a fast workaround due to only being used on a small number of sites.

@Dragon@toast.dragon2611.net @cartocalypse@norden.social @drgeo@mamot.fr @doctormo@floss.social And even then, if it's juicy enough, crawler makers update their crawler to solve the challenges. E.g. Anubis does not work for Codeberg anymore because crawlers can deal with it: https://social.anoxinon.de/@Codeberg/115033790447125787
