I am working on a simple static website that gives visitors basic information about myself and the work I do. I want this as a way use to introduce myself to potential clients, collaborators, etc., rather than rely solely on LinkedIn as my visiting card.
This may seem sound rather oxymoronic given that I am literally going to be placing (some relevant) details about myself and my work on the internet, but I want to limit the websites’ access from bots, web scraping and content collection for LLMs.
Is this a realistic expectation?
Also, any suggestions on privacy respecting, yet inexpensive domains that I can purchase in Europe would be of super great help.
Put each character in a spans with random classes, intersperse other random characters all over the place also with random classes, then make the unwanted characters hidden.
Bonus points if you use css to shuffle the order of letters too.
Accessibility? Pffffft.
headless browser print to pdf, then extract the text from pdf, can automate getting around this easily. one way to harden things might be to use the canvas to draw text that is not selectable, but then OCR can easily defeat that too.
Some websites I know actually do this - usually end up getting around it by using selectors to identify elements nested in a particular order, rather than using class names. Nowhere near as reliable though
Yep, This is taken straight from Facebooks advertisements circa 2018, maybe still today.
That will break legitimate extensions
I think that’s such a small percentage of users that it doesn’t really matter
