I heard of Anubis before a few times around posts surrounding Cloudflare’s (CF) efforts around web scrapers previously. Truth be told, I hardly see the Anubis screen pop up. If the site or service is big enough, it would be using CF. If it’s small enough or niche, in my mind, it shouldn’t have that problem and doesn’t need it. I can see big enough niche service and sites getting hit though, and can’t pay for CF so they use Anubis. And sometimes those are anime related sites, though that’s how I found it in the wild. I think catbox.moe is using anubis, and I think that’s where I sometimes encounter it.
Yeah, git repositories get hit much more heavily than most websites by scrapers, as they usually go into every subdirectory/file iirc and also scrape pretty frequently
I usually browse from a pretty good computer. I didnt notice Anubis at all before it was pointed out on lemmy. Its lmost instant

There are More mainstream sites using it. Like codeberg
But yeah mostly those who won’t use cloudflare for ideological reasons
Thanks for telling me. I made a poor assumption.

catbox.moe using it is very fitting too lol
On a slow connection or old device, it is usually pretty noticeable, but not unusable
