It feels like half the sites I try to visit in waterfox these days end in a looping “verify you’re human” cloudflare page where I click the box and it fails. This happens in so many places that it’s starting to really frustrate me, there were a few times where I thought of saying fuck privacy I just want the web to actually work. But I have just resorted to trying my best to use the internet without any sites that do this. Is this unavoidable? Surely there must be some kind of bypass here?

    If your using a vpn its pretty much unavoidable. You could opt to use a vpn service that offers a static ip, since not sharing an ip with a bunch of other users will reduce your browser being flagged but, that comes with privacy trade off

    If it was possibly to bypass their service then it wouldn’t be as popular as it is. It’s most likely an issue with Waterfox and not cloud flair, id file a bug report.

    I think it depends why you want to bypass cloudflare, but realistically I don’t think you’re gonna be able to access those sites without going through cloudflare.

    If you want to avoid accidentally stumbling into cloudflare, you could probably block their IP ranges. But of course that means you can’t access any cloudflare sites.
