It took a year to ship WebAssembly in Anubis

Anubis is a website protection tool that uses a proof-of-work challenge system to prevent aggressive web scraping by AI companies, similar to Hashcash's spam-reduction approach. The system adds computational overhead to scrapers while remaining negligible for individual users, and is intended as a temporary solution until better headless browser detection methods are developed. The tool requires JavaScript to function and was implemented after scraping activities caused downtime and resource accessibility issues.
