Me and millions of users of "obsolete" software and hardware wish CloudFlare slow and painful death. I mean, require solving 65535 useless captchas to die. And "sorry, you are not allowed to die now. Try some other time. Meanwhile why don't you learn how we protect the heavens and hell from freeloaders like you!" after that. And repeat. 71M times.

What "obsolete" software and hardware are you using that's somehow blocked by Cloudflare?

  NetFront on the phone, IceCat mobile (never gets updates) or internal WebView browser on a smartpone, some unknown browser on samsung tv, Firefox 50 on a Linux laptop, but using others often doesn't help. For a while on these I get "screw yourself" message right away, while on others it's 5-30 captcha solving (AI feeding) sessions. And not only me. People with stock android 7 and older browsers have this too. And users of "suspicious" (e.g. non-chrome) browsers too. Oh, and these proxy pages forcing me to use JS (which I clearly don't want), and provide training to some AI (same here).

    Unfortunately the internet moves fast, and if you're using a smart TV (prime for DDOS) or (in internet years) old tech it's the same as trying to drive a model t on the highway - sure it's a perfectly serviceable vehicle but you're probably going to get pulled over more often because you're a danger to yourself and others.

      That's why I hate proprietary sh*t. A great TV with no way to update it or make it usable (no, I won't plug it into another computer). A great smartphone/toaster/anything else with the same problem...

    The latest Firefox 110 for Android supports 5.0+. The latest Chromium 110 for Android supports 7.0+. Any device sold with the Android branding running 7.0+ will even have the latest Google/Chrome WebView updated out of band via Play. 5/6 will be stuck on version 105(?). You should consider switching from IceCat to Fennec F-Droid, see my comparison table here: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers https://divestos.org/pages/browsers

      It's quite more complicated. But thanks. GMS/gapps or whatever are long gone for me anyway )
