The Anubis anime girl is an instant tab close for me, especially while in public. I dont like having to explain to people that I'm not one of those creepy anime guys.

That’s the most insecure thing I’ve heard in a while. What other things randomly flashing across your screen disturb you? Do you imagine your coworkers keeping count of which ads are displayed in your browsers? Do you imagine that they don’t also see the Anubis loading screens?

It isn't even anime style, it gives me more western cartoonish vibes.

From someone who doesn't want to associate with it, I think 'anime girl' is fair. Even if people who consume it might (and do) categorize it otherwise.

uBlock Origin filter to block the anime girl from loading:
