I already stopped visiting 3 websites I used to frequent because I suddenly got redirected to Anubis and was told to enable JS. All my browsers have JS disabled by default and are configured to never keep any local storage/cookies out of principle. I won't change that just to get to a website that is mostly static HTML. Even on the occasion where I bite the bullet it takes between 5 - 30 seconds to complete the PoW challenge on my main machine. I hope this trash doesn't get popular. I really doubt that this makes much difference to more sophisticated crawlers that run on enterprise hardware.
