Anubis is not bad for privacy, but rather the opposite. Server admins explicitly chose it over commonly available alternatives to preserve the privacy of their visitors.
If you don't like random Javascript execution, just install an allow-list extension in your browser 🤷
And no, it is not a PR slogan, it is the live experience of thousands of server admins (me included) that have been fighting with this for month now and are very grateful that Anubis has provided some (likely only temporary) relief from that.
And I don't get what the point of an extra button would be when the result is exactly the same 🤷
Latest version of Anubis has a JavaScript-free verification system. It isn't as accurate, so I allow js-free visits only if the site isn't being hammered. Which, tbf, prior to Anubis no one was getting in, JS or no JS.
