Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

What happens?:

The detected website title is "Making sure you're not a bot!":

What should have happened instead?:

…no automatic title, I guess? Prompt the user to edit the metadata manually? (I don’t think Citoid should try to bypass Anubis by doing the proof-of-work dance; there’s a good chance the user has done that in another tab already anyway.)

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):

A depressing number of existing instances of this issue may be found with Global Search.

Event Timeline

Pointed out by Taavi: apparently @Mvolz already got us on Anubis’ good bots list, so this is mainly an issue with older Anubis installations (if I understand correctly).

Also per Taavi, “Checking your browser” (Cloudflare, I think?) also seems like a good title to blocklist.
