The Onion Router, now called Tor, is a privacy-focused web browser run by a nonprofit group.

I’ve literally always browsed Lemmy over Tor. I even made this account over it, which surprised me when it worked.

How do the big CDNs handle Tor traffic? Do you find you get blocked, or is it just a matter of more captchas/challenges?

Lots of capchas usually, I can’t remember being outright blocked when I used it

CloudFlare puts up a captcha occasionally, everything else just leaves me alone.

At this point using someone else’s browser with no adblock feels more difficult to navigate.

I see, thanks! Yeah, surfing the web without Adblock is actually horrible these days.
