I think you have misunderstood what I said. Wall Street Journal -- the website -- is blocking me. Ironically, I use Cloudflare DNS and archive.is links now work, even though they used to be an endless captcha loop.
The message I get from WSJ is the following. Note: the following does NOT happen when browsing with Chrome.
You have been blocked
Why? Something about the behaviour of the browser has caught our attention.
There are various possible explanations for this:
- You are browsing and clicking at a speed much faster than expected of a human being.
- Something is preventing JavaScript from working on your computer.
- There is a robot on the same network as you.
I am used to these kind of sites calling me a robot, so I guess the third point is true to some extent :)
P.S. I had to change the Accept-Language headers in Firefox to get this message in English. Otherwise I get machine-translated gibberish, which is ironic considering the page is accusing me of being a machine.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y ago> You have been blocked I've seen Firefox-only blocking at WSJ before. Today, when I visit their front page with Firefox, I see the same message you get. But when I load the OP's article I see a white screen with the following page code behind it (ublock disabled). <html><head><title>wsj.com</title><style>#cmsg{animation: A 1.5s;}@keyframes A{0%{opacity:0;}99%{opacity:0;}100%{opacity:1;}}</style></head><body style="margin:0"><p id="cmsg">Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker</p><script data-cfasync="false"> ... host':'geo.captcha-delivery.com'}</script><script data-cfasync="false" src="https://ct.captcha-delivery.com/c.js"></script></body></html>
