Nothing says, "Change out the logo for something that doesn't make my clients tingle in an uncomfortable way" like the MIT license.
Keep in mind that the author explicitly asks you not to do this, and offers a paid white label version. You can still do it yourself, but maybe you shouldn’t.

No need to mimic the actual challenge process. Just change your user agent to not have "Mozilla" in it; Anubis only serves you…
I'm interested in your extension. I'm wondering if I could do something similar to force text encoding of pages into Japanese.
All the API is documented in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Web... . My Anubis extension modifies request headers using `browser.webRequest.onBeforeSendHeaders.addListener()` . Your case sounds like modifying response headers which is `browser.webRequest.onHeadersReceived.addListener()` . Either way the API is all documented there, as is the `manifest.json` that you'll need to write to register this JS code as a background script and whatever permissions you need.
Then zip the manifest and the script together, rename the zip file to ".xpi", place it in the sideloaded extensions directory (depends on distro, eg /usr/lib/firefox/browser/extensions), restart firefox and it should show up. If you need to debug it, you can use the about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox page to launch a devtools window connected to the background script.

but... how? when the author ran the numbers, the rough estimate is solving the challenges at a rate of 10000/5 min, on a single instance of the free tier of google compute. that is an insignificant load at an even more insignificant cost.
That's insanely slow compared to how fast they normally scrape.
So it's a paywall with -- good intentions -- and even more accessibility concerns. Thus accelerating enshittification. Who's managing the network effects? How do site owners control false positives? Do they have support teams granting access? How do we know this is doing any good? It's convoluted security theater mucking up an already bloated , flimsy and sluggish internet. It's frustrating enough to guess schoolbuse…

Can't wait to sign into my web browser with my driver's license.
What's next? Requiring a license to make toast in your own damn toaster?
Silly you, joking around like that. Can you imagine owning a toaster?! Sooo inconvenient and unproductive! Guess, if you change your housing plan, you gonna bring it along like an infectious tick? Hahah — no thank you! :D
You will own nothing and you will be happy!

I agree - the article is interesting and not dismissive. I was talking more about some of the people here ;)
I still don't understand what Anubis solves if it can be bypassed too easily: If you use User-agent switcher (i emulate wget) as firefox addon on kernel.org or ffmpeg.org you save the entire check time and straight up skip Anubis. Apparently they use a whitelist for user-agents due to allowing legitimate wget usage on these domains. However if I (an honest human can) the scrapers and grifters can too. https://addons.…
I'm a scraper developer and Anubis would have worked 10 - 20 years ago, but now all broad scrapers run on a real headless browser with full cookie support and costs relatively nothing in compute. I'd be surprised if LLM bots would use anything else given the fact that they have all of this compute and engineers already available. That being said, one point is very correct here - by far the best effort to resist broad…
How do you bypass cloudflare? I do some light scrapping for some personal stuff, but I can't figure out how to bypass it. Like do you randomize IPs using several VPNs at the same time? I usually just sit there on my phone pressing the "I am not a robot box" when it triggers.

But if that hardware key is privacy-preserving (i.e. websites don't get your identity when you use it), what prevents you from using it for your illegal activity? Scrapers and spam are built by humans, who could get such a hardware key.
You’d at least be limited to deploying a single verified scraper which might be too slow for people to bother with.

I believe usually you would bypass by using residential ips / proxies?
I run it through my home network and I'm still triggering it. I add 2s delays between page load and it still triggers
