I guess Anubis also prevents "good" bots such as search engine bots to access a webpage...

I'm kind of looking forward to this, in a way? I've been struggling with social network addiction, while I was fortunate enough to skip on doomscrolling FB, Instagram, TikTok and all that bullshit, I was always mostly just on Reddit, now Lemmy (but I've also been getting back to Reddit more than I should), or watching youtube.

Over the past 15 years I've been more or less (usually less) successful in cutting off that habit, but I've unfortunately always fallen back into it.

My utmost hate for fingerprinting and any kind of verification will make me finally cold turkey that shit. I've already seen it with youtube - every time it forces me to sign in to prove I'm not a bot, I fuck off and go do something else. Same with Reddit.

So, yeah.
