Anubis "browser is configured to disable cookies" error with Mullvad Browser (no VPN) — anyone else?

Hi

Hi everyone,

I’m regularly hitting Anubis https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis proof-of-work challenges and instead of the challenge completing, I always get the “Oh noes! Your browser is configured to disable cookies” error page (currently seen with Anubis v1.25.0).

Setup:

  • Mullvad Browser (latest), macOS 27, without VPN
  • Default settings — I’m aware private mode and first-party isolation are on by design
  • Happens across many different open-source sites running Anubis, so it’s clearly not site-specific

From what I understand, Mullvad Browser breaks Anubis’ flow because it can’t reliably set the challenge/verification cookies.
Questions:

  1. Do other Mullvad Browser users see this as well?
  2. Has anyone found a workaround that doesn’t defeat the purpose of the browser?

example: Making sure you're not a bot!
