20 days agoIt’s not always about being first but about marketing.
And one has a cute catgirl mascot, the other a website that looks like a blockchain techbro startup.
I’m even willing to bet the amount of people that set up Anubis just to get the cute splash screen isn’t insignificant.
It’s simply checking if the connection is from an actual browser, as a scraper pretending to be one won’t actually refresh the page as instructed. It’s going to buy some time, but like the rest of Anubis in general, it will only work until the scrapers get modified to work around it.
