It’s not always about being first but about marketing.

And one has a cute catgirl mascot, the other a website that looks like a blockchain techbro startup.
I'm even willing to bet the amount of people that set up Anubis just to get the cute splash screen isn't insignificant.

Compare and contrast.

High-performance traffic management and next-gen security with multi-cloud management and observability. Built for the enterprise — open source at heart.

Sounds like some over priced, vacuous, do-everything solution. Looks and sounds like every other tech website. Looks like it is meant to appeal to the people who still say "cyber". Looks and sounds like fauxpen source.

Weigh the soul of incoming HTTP requests to protect your website!

Cute. Adorable. Baby girl. Protect my website. Looks fun. Has one clear goal.
