Just in the last few days, I've run across several sites that have implemented something called Anubis:
https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/
At first, I was a bit surprised to see the Anubis wait screen, as I've never encountered this kind of security mechanism before.
However, now that I've seen it several times, I have to ask: why aren't all webdevs using this instead of CAPTCHAs?

Couple ideas:
- Because you still might need a way to filter out bots. Crypto puzzles don't filter out the bots, it just delays them a bit.
- Because there are not many good, maintained solutions.
- Because most devs do not care about being independent from external services such as Google and Hcaptcha 🙈.
P.S. this comes from someone who created an own self-hosted captcha solution ðŸ¤
