I hate this new web where you're automatically assumed to be some malicious actor only because you don't accept cookies and strange third party code and then have to jump through hoops to show that you're not some evil bot. To be honest, if a website immediately throws some Cloudflare anti-DDoS thing in my face I don't even bother anymore.
- apple4ever 5y agoI agree. Browsing the web can be super frustrating when there is a CAPTCHA every other page.
- jfengel 5y agoWe all do. Everybody who's ever worked in security hates that even the tiniest hole in your security will be squeezed through. If you don't distrust every single packet, then sooner or later one of those packets is going to destroy you. It's basically the same both ways. You don't trust them with your private info. They don't trust you, either. The easiest way is, indeed, to just call the whole thing off. Everybody would love an alternative that lets more get done with less trust. Sometimes they find them, for limited cases. But nobody's solved it for the general case.
