As you read this, it's likely that you're seeing this page because the administrator of this website has taken steps to protect its server from the scourge of AI-powered bots. Anubis, a clever compromise, is in place to safeguard the site against these aggressive scrapers.

Anubis uses a Proof-of-Work scheme inspired by Hashcash, a proposed solution designed to combat email spam. On an individual scale, the added load may be negligible, but when mass scrapers come into play, it becomes a significant burden that makes scraping much more expensive. In essence, Anubis is a temporary fix with a dual purpose: to provide a "good enough" placeholder while allowing developers to focus on identifying headless browsers – those pesky, AI-powered browsing entities that can masquerade as legitimate users.

However, this solution comes with some caveats. Anubis requires the use of modern JavaScript features, which plugins like JShelter will disable. To navigate this challenge, you'll need to disable JShelter or other similar plugins for this domain. Unfortunately, this also means that you must enable JavaScript in your browser to get past the challenge page. This is a requirement due to the changing social contract around website hosting, where AI companies have altered the rules of the game.

It's worth noting that a no-JS solution is still in the works, but for now, this is the only way to bypass Anubis. The trade-off is that you'll need to sacrifice some convenience in exchange for accessing the website. As a user, it's essential to understand the context behind these measures and appreciate the efforts of administrators to protect their servers from malicious activities.
