For all the places I've encountered that used Anubis, I didn't bat an eye because it fits the vibe. But then again, I am a weeb. But also the image isn't even that egregious. I'd say it's atypical for a cartoon character, but that might be because I swim snorkel in sewers.
You what now
I assume "swimming snorkel in sewers" is a self deprecating way of describing exactly how "weeb" they are.
I don’t know what it means but it makes sense.
Yes that basically. I go to image boards (no, not that one) to find anime images. Often time that would entail seeing crazy shit.
I actually had another sentence written before but it didn't sound nice enough and swim snorkel somehow got posted. But I decide to just leave it at that
I usually browse from a pretty good computer. I didnt notice Anubis at all before it was pointed out on lemmy. Its lmost instant
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.
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.
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
catbox.moe using it is very fitting too lol
On a slow connection or old device, it is usually pretty noticeable, but not unusable
My universities website uses it and they recently replaced the standard logo with a custom one.
I can't really even comment if it's out of place or not because I know what Anubis is and get more excited about someone using it then I even think "is a cat girl out of place here?"
