1. They seem to hate my devices. Lots of captchas.
  2. They seem to hate when people bypass their country’s censorship. Using sites behind cloudflare through tor is pain without end.

They’ve gotten a lot better over Tor - that’s the main thing I’m thinking of, actually. I used to give up most of the time when captcha’d, but now with the JavaScript based verification I pretty much always can get in, even on mobile.

Most providers don’t give a shit about Tor, or actively try to block it. They actually went out of their way to make it easier.

I get so many cloudflare captchas browsing on Firefox. They mostly go away when I change my user agent string to Chrome. Making the Internet more hostile for a particular group of users is pretty shitty behavior in my book.

I use Firefox and can’t remember the last time I got a cloudflare captcha
