By the way, I am now officially tied to a device which is too old to support Anubis.
-
In other words, I encourage you to look to other solutions.
Some that I know of in no particular order:
- go-away – alternative with No-JS challenges and more customizability
- Iocaine – actively poison AI scrapers, best paired with nam shub of enki configuration
I heard mumbles that Anubis is also getting No-Javascript methods eventually, but I don't know more than that.
Anubis has No-Javascript challenges, there's some more advanced ones in the paid offering
(feel free to add to that list, I had something bookmarked but I've lost it on my old phone)@alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work go-away isn't a fork of Anubis
-
@alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work wtf, is it actually using new enough APIs??? i expected the implementation to actually take old devices into consideration
@nay
it uses WebAssembly or WebCryptography APIs, both of which I don't have. -

@alexia anubis is getting non-JS methods in their commercial offering
@niko fixed -

(feel free to add to that list, I had something bookmarked but I've lost it on my old phone)mind you, technically I CAN install firefox, however on hardware that has:
- 900 **mega**bytes of RAM
- 4 CPU cores clocked at ~1.3 gigahertz
- Android 7
- 32Bit SoC
it's........less than serviceable in comparison to Chromium 66. Yes, chromium 66. That's what comes shipped and I've yet to find ARM 32bit builds newer than this which install on this architecture and device. -

- Chat over XMPP using Conversations or use delta.chat for Chatmail
- Hang out on Fedi using Tusky
- Listen to music using any player, or by visiting my local Copyparty instance (which works all the way back to Netscape 4.0)
- Navigate places using Comaps
But visiting websites with Anubis? Nope. Not happening.
Even if it could run, it would probably take me a minute to visit your website. -

@gen oh my god right, let me see if I can get Goguma on this thing
otherwise...I guesstermux+ some terminal IRC client would do??? -

Software should be efficient, and fast. We've all forgotten what it means to be on a platform that is restricted ever since our computing resources started going up, and this is where it left us.
Those less fortunate are unable to view even the simplest pages because there is software in front that simply won't run on my device.
Our software isn't quick or snappy anymore, to the point where any software which IS quick or snappy markets itself as being so. It has become a marketing feature.
Sure, all our new fancy tech is quite nice, but let's not forget that not everyone is as fortunate.
I am very glad that there's tools which work even on the cheapest or oldest devices. -
@sneexy it's a speadtrum unisoc device but all threads I've found of trying to use various tools (ALL of which are windows-only anyways) ended up permabricking the device
so, unless there is a temp-root, dm-verity and AVB bypass, I won't be unlocking this thing anytime soon
I debloated it to hell and back, yet despite having significantly better specs it lags more than the Moto C plus lol@alexia @sneexy there's a sketchy ass piece of software called DC Unlocker, that while it doesn't have the Blade listed, I do wonder if it would somehow support it? Maybe worth contacting their support. It primarily supports unlocking Huawei phones, and hasn't had updates since 2023...
Alternatively there are numerous weird sketchy sites online that seem to offer "unlocks", which I assume means SIM unlocking and not bootloader unlocking...

@jessienab @sneexy
I already know that there is tools that can unlock this device, I've seen people use those, however they all permabricked their devices in doing so and 99,99% of these tools cost money and have DRM that only works on Windows. -

Maybe it's just not worth playing with...

@jessienab That's not the official process at all, ZTE doesn't have one!
They literally use screenshots for unlocking a Xiaomi device — A completely different manufacturer -
This is all I get.
@alexia I also just get only this.

(I use Anubis for my Forgejo instance but am desperate for alternatives) -
By the way, I am now officially tied to a device which is too old to support Anubis. Not just in the "it takes too long" sense, but also being unable to install any version of Chromium that supports the required APIs.
This is probably what a lot of people which are less fortunate than you feel like.@alexia I don't have a problem with them doing paid features, time costs money. I also doubt that many people will move to a different option just for older devices to get through.
I'm also curious as to why you're tied to such an old device. That's an unfortunate situation.
EDIT: Just saw that you're getting a Pixel 7 soon, enjoy!

if you change your UA to something unlike a browser it should just ignore you if it's using defaults
