While the whole internet was discussing how Cloudflare went down, Ahrefs rolled out an update that many may have missed. And you're not going to like it.

UR is no longer available for nothing

Now to check URL Rating you can only install their toolbar. But just installing it is not enough - you need to log in to the extension.

For us, this means one thing: we'll have to rewrite automations, change parsers, and spend time on things that used to work on their own.

But that's not the end of it. I honestly installed the extension, logged in, but Ahrefs still didn't show me the UR data.

Sadness, grief and extra headache on top of nothing.

Waiting for the ability to watch and DR to be removed.
