This ‘protection’ seems to have a problem with Firefox and it’s privacy related settings. 😡

    Yes, it’s been an absolutely obnoxious experience. And if you’re using a VPN, forget about it.

        If you set protection settings all the way up in Firefox, Cloudflare will get stuck, yes. I do not consider this a shortcoming of Firefox though, my browser is doing the right thing.

        Previously, I kept a Chromium instance around, but now I use a second Firefox profile that still has tracking protection enabled, 3rd party cookies restricted etc., but set to a level where e. g. Cloudflare still works. I trust Firefox to better act out my interests. Using -P, the second profile can be started without launching Firefox’s profile manager.

        With browsers beginning to actively fight fingerprinting techniques, I expect more sites (legit or not) that rely on these techniques to break. That is fine by me.

          Yeah but I expected Cloudflare to be on top of it, not act like some scappy website strung together by duct tape.

          This pretty much never happens to me and I always have Firefox set to strictest. I haven’t messed around too much with about:config though.

        Are you blocking JavaScript?

        I haven’t even seen that page in years, despite recently switching from chrome to FF with all the common privacy plugins.

        Yet I do have such problems with Chromium. Not universal though, only on some websites and only sometimes.

    Yes, Cloudflare has caused a lot of problems with its broken captcha the last few weeks/month. I use Brave as a backup and it lets that through no problem, which is sad.

    What I have noticed is that when using the ESR release you get blocked much more often for some reason.
