Firebox M300 - [Firebox M300] update intro wordings

The Firebox M300 website is using Anubis, a proof-of-work challenge, to block AI companies from scraping its content. The administrator implemented this measure to prevent server downtime caused by aggressive scraping bots. Anubis is described as a temporary solution while more advanced headless browser fingerprinting is developed.

Testing to determine if you are a bot Loading... You are seeing this because the administrator of this website has set up Anubis to protect the server against the scourge of AI companies aggressively scraping websites. This can and does cause downtime for the websites, which makes their resources inaccessible for everyone. Anubis is a compromise. Anubis uses a Proof-of-Work scheme in the vein of Hashcash, a proposed proof-of-work scheme for reducing email spam. The idea is that at individual scales the additional load is ignorable, but at mass scraper levels it adds up and makes scraping much more expensive. Ultimately, this is a placeholder solution so that more time can be spent on fingerprinting and identifying headless browsers EG: via how they do font rendering so that the challenge proof of work page doesn't need to be presented to users that are much more likely to be legitimate. Please note that Anubis requires the use of modern JavaScript features that plugins like JShelter will disable. Please disable JShelter or other such plugins for this domain.
