Do you mean the browser screenshots?

[wintermeyer]

@wintermeyer, few websites, now, don't use, at the least, Anubis or CloudFlare. LLMs scraping them have ensured that that is so. I am very surprised, and impressed, that Vutuv does not.

It is IMO not the right solution for that kind of problem.

@wintermeyer, if you're willing to answer: why not (and what might be)?

[wintermeyer]

I have a hard time to believe that it is or has become "normal" to just put a service like CloudFlare in front of web server. But that is just my position.

[beedell-roke]

@wintermeyer, at least ⪆ 19 % of all websites do, ¹ and all FOSS websites, that I utilise, utilise Anubis. ² Mozilla's Bugzilla instance appears to be the sole outlier, and that utilises Fastly, which is merely a CloudFlare competitor. ³
