Firefox do fake your GPU model, yes.
That's part of the tracking protection. You still need to tell that you do have a GPU, for various reasons (hardware acceleration, etc.), so it provides a generic one, the same for everyone, so it cannot be used for tracking.
They do know you are on a mobile phone, due to your screen size and touch input, which are data points your browser automatically reports, even in desktop mode.

Same here, but the performances are abysmal on the Deck (15-20 fps on low), and crashes on every map changes. I'm gonna wait next week to see if it goes better with the first few fixes, and then I'll chose if I refund it or not.
Fair point. I do agree with the "clic to execute challenge" approach.
For the terminal browser, it has more to do with it not respecting web standard than Anubis not working on it.
As for old hardware, I do agree that a temporization could be good idea, if it wasn't so easy to circumvent. In such case bots would just wait in the background and resume once the timer is fullified, which would vastly decrease Anubis effectiveness as they don't uses much power to do so. There isn't really much that can be done here.
As for the CUDA solution, that will depend on the implemented hash algorithm. Some of them (like the one used by Monero) are made to vastly more inefficient on GPU than it is on the CPU. Moreover, GPU servers are far more expensive to run than CPU ones, so the result would be the same : crawling would be more expensive.
In any case, the best solution would be by far to make it a legal requirement to respect robot.txt, but for now the legislators prefer to look the other way.
To solve it or not do not change that they have to use more resources for crawling, which is the objective here. And by contrast, the website sees a lot less load compared to before the use of Anubis. In any case, I see it as a win.
But despite that, it has its detractors, like any solution that becomes popular.
But let's be honest, what are the arguments against it?
It takes a bit longer to access for the first time? Sure, but that's not like you have to click anything or write anything.
It executes foreign code on your machine? Literally 90% of the web does these days. Just disable JavaScript to see how many website is still functional. I'd be surprised if even a handful does.
The only people having any advantages at not having Anubis are web crawler, be it ai bots, indexing bots, or script kiddies trying to find a vulnerable target.
Anubis is no challenge like a captcha. Anubis is a ressource waster, forcing crawler to resolve a crypto challenge (basically like mining bitcoin) before being allowed in. That how it defends so well against bots, as they do not want to waste their resources on needless computing, they just cancel the page loading before it even happen, and go crawl elsewhere.
You can download Windows for free too. But in both case you won't have any support unless you are running it on the authorized hardware. Windows does it though a licence, Apple through the hardware kirks.
Go on, try installing your "free" OS on a Thinkpad, and tell me if you manage to get it running.
It is not free if you have to pay a specific hardware from the same company to run it. Same goes for Windows, it is not free if you are forced to buy Windows with the laptop.
In both case you pay for the software through the hardware.
I can show you many receipts where I bought a Windows laptop without a trace of any Windows licence on it.
Same, you can't really install macOS on anything else than a Mac.
Sure you can do a Hackintosh, or run Windows without a proper licence (you can buy a Windows for like... $2 on the grey market). But you won't have any support...
Ah, the good old "you dont agree with me so you must be shilling for X" argument. I suppose you are shilling for the bots then, am I right ?
Hi friends,
There was many threads lately on that topic, and despite attempts at making all those threads follow the community rules, looks like it will be better to make a megathread in order to avoid drowning other topics under the constant updates about this.
You find bellow multiple sections, containing as much info as possible on every aspect of this topic, including the latest news (as well as older ones), and how to participate in fighting it (if you wish to).
The moderation, even if we do have our own personal opinion on the topic, will try to stay as neutral as possible, which mean all opinion (for or against) are welcome, as long as it respect the rules, especially rule 2.
As a special exception to rule 4, memes are welcome in the comment section, as I saw some good ones in various other topics, as soon as they respect rule 2.

Welcome Frenchfrynoob.
Funnily, my american friends do call me French Fry too, but because I'm French myself ๐. I call them freedom fries (a joke that dates back to France refusal to follow the US in Irak)
