Where this work is discussed and who else is cataloguing it: the anti-bot and scraping communities, and the competing registries covering this ground. Every rival list here is judged by exactly the same rubric as everything else in this catalogue, licence field and push date included, because a register that exempted its competitors would not be a register.

Where the work is discussed, and the other lists covering this ground — listed with their own liveness fields, on the same rule as everything else.

The competing lists, on the same rule as everything else

Several of the entries here are direct competitors to this catalogue, and they are listed with their own licences, their own push dates and their own derived states. What that comparison surfaces is not quality but method: none of them publishes a licence for the list itself in a form that grants reuse, none carries a check date against individual entries, and none records what happened when an address stopped answering.

That is the gap this register was built into, and saying so plainly is more useful than pretending the competitors do not exist. Their coverage is genuinely different from this one's — one is prose analysis rather than an index, one is weighted towards captcha and account tooling, one is research aggregation with almost no evasion tooling — so reading more than one of them is not redundant.

Communities are a lead, not a citation

The rooms listed here are where techniques circulate first, months before anything is written down. That is their value and also their limitation: an answer in a chat has no date attached to it that survives, no author accountability beyond the moment, and no way to be corrected once it has been copied into somebody's code.

Several are hosted by vendors selling into the audience, which is recorded here as a flag rather than argued about. Take a mechanism from a community and verify it against something citable before you build on it. Several communities widely listed elsewhere are absent from this section entirely because the sweep could not confirm them, and that attempt is recorded on the field log rather than quietly dropped.

Questions about communities and competing lists

Answered from the fields printed above, and from nothing this register has not checked.

What other anti-detect and web scraping lists exist?

Several, and they are catalogued in this section with their own licences, push dates and derived states. Their coverage differs enough from this catalogue's that reading more than one is worthwhile — one is deep prose analysis rather than an index, another is heavy on captcha and account tooling, another is research aggregation.

Why are some well-known scraping communities missing?

Because the sweep could not confirm them from where it runs. Every request path available was refused for several widely-cited forums and communities, and this register does not list what it has not checked. The attempts and their outcomes are printed on the field log instead.

Does this registry list itself as a competitor to those lists?

It states the relationship plainly rather than pretending to neutrality. The keepers of this catalogue work on a browser that is an entry in section 01, the competing registries here are judged by the same rubric that judges it, and the full disclosure is on the colophon.


Donut Browser is filed in section 01 of this same catalogue, under the same rubric, with the same fields printed against it and no exemption: an open-source anti-detect browser under AGPL-3.0 whose Wayfern Chromium fork applies fingerprint overrides at engine level over CDP rather than by patching page JavaScript, with a local REST API and MCP server on your own machine, self-hostable sync, zero telemetry, and a pre-launch gate that refuses to start a profile when the proxy's exit geography contradicts the profile's fingerprint. It is judged here the same way everything in this section is judged.
