Cloudflare is a cancer upon the internet.

    +1.

    I. Fucking. Hate. Cloudflare.

    It's such a huge % of the internet now. Intercepted by cloudflare. Which says I "passed". But then, gets stuck in an endless reload loop back to the cloudflare page. And never forwards me to the site itself.

    Sometimes it does work. But at least half the sites, it doesn't. Totally normal things. Like recipe sites. Or a site cataloging vintage toys.

    This shit is making the internet unusable for anyone who tries to keep their privacy from the co's that track every click you ever make, every site you read. I get it, sites need protection against DDOS attacks and stuff. But there has got to be a way w/o so much collateral damage.

    It's probably because of resistFingerprinting in about:config.

    Unfortunately sites need to use them or someone similar to not get attacked to shit by AI bots. Websites could turn off the challenges (which are that captcha) so Cloudflare just absorbs DDoS attacks, then use the open source Cap inside the site on things like the log in page and comments instead.
