    I’ve seen this pop up on websites a lot lately. Usually it takes a few seconds to load the website but there have been occasions where it seemed to hang as it was stuck on that screen for minutes and I ended up closing my browser tab because the website just wouldn’t load.

    Is this a (known) issue or is it intended to be like this?

      anubis is basically a bitcoin miner, with the difficulty turned way down (and obviously not resulting in any coins), so it’s inherently random. if it takes minutes it does seem like something is wrong though. maybe a network error?

        adding to this, some sites set the difficulty way higher then others, nerdvpn’s invidious and redlib instances take about 5 seconds and some ~20k hashes, while privacyredirect’s inatances are almost instant with less then 50 hashes each time
