    You fail checks with an adblocker? I have never had that happen with Ublock origin or Adnausium.

      Btw you do not need to use adnausium if you are using ublock. It handles that for you. You can look at the settings to select extra configs should you want

      No no. I think what this prompt is doing, is dishonestly presenting a fake “stuck” captcha check and dishonestly leading the user to believe it’s their ad blocker that is to blame, thus tricking them with this “strategy” to disable it.

      I have adblockers, private DNS, and other tools enabled and have never once failed a Cloudflare check. Google recaptcha on the other hand asks me about motorcycles, traffic lights and busses literally dozens of times in a row.

        I bet you’re using a firefox based browser. There was a brief period years ago when google captchas worked blazingly fast on firefox. This was shortly after mozilla very publicly denounced google for intentionally sabotaging firefox users.

        Really? Do you have a source for that or at least what user agents apparently gets cloudflared and don’t? Geniuely curious

          Just my personal experience, your mileage may vary 😅

          I was getting blocked when I used any fake user agent using a user agent switcher firefox addon. But maybe they were just detecting the addon, or maybe a bug in the switcher allowed them to detect the discrepancy…
