Yeah, I really have no idea why Anubis works right now: residential proxies are far more expensive than compute, yet the bots seem to have no problem obtaining millions of residential IPs, but they give up on even short-ish Anubis challenges.

Yeah, I don't like the Cloudflare challenges, but in the past 5 years I've only had it outright block me once, and that fixed itself after 15 minutes. And I use Firefox on Linux with various privacy extensions, so my browser probably appears at least moderately suspicious.

Whereas I've been trapped in impossible ReCaptcha loops quite a few times, which is still better than vague error messages that magically go away when I switch to something not running Linux. So I'll begrudgingly accept that Turnstile is the least user-hostile product on the market right now.

The only reason Anubis works right now is that it's not very commonly used and the bots are not optimized to bypass it (yet).
