i don't appreciate that the site if sniffing my browser before connecting.

Sniffing your browser? It really doesn't care much about your browser other than whether or not it is capable of some simple string manipulation and math. It's the most basic level of defense against trivial DDoS's.
( It's sufficiently basic that a bot I wrote happily grabs the challenge, solves it, submits it, gets the cookie, re-accesses with the cookie, and grabs the data, then re-uses that cookie until the site decides the cookie expired and it starts over again. I'll have to see how it fares with bitmain's site. )
You're sending vastly more information to a site about your browser just accessing a page in the first place.

Why do i need to see the message that the site is checking my browser for DDOS?
I certainly do not need to see that snippet-it should be done in the background.

You want to think your browser is just freezing while making the check? Get over yourself.

actually, it takes roughly the same time for me as bitmaintech site is quite slow for the initial load, so there is no time difference (at least for me)
why being so defensive about a minor comment?
