I am apparently a bot. :( Beep Boop! (I've let the page sit for a minute or so, and it hasn't concluded that I am not a bot yet, but also, I'm aware I look weird - Firefox, with Javascript JIT disabled, with no GPU acceleration) I don't know what it's using on the backend, but it doesn't seem to pass for me, and doesn't give me the usual option to pick a baby chicken from a baby duck to prove I'm human.

Same boat, the attempt at bot detection prevents the page from working at all for me.

  I also disable WebGL. This alone breaks Turnstile. Also helps avoid websites that are "user-hostile". If a website considers curl or Firefox suspicious, then it's not worth proving humanity. I will let them continue calling me a robot in machine-translated Japanese... The worst is probably hCaptcha. It asks up to 10 machine-translated questions involving machine-generated images to prove the user is not a machine. Something about this is funny to me.

Also wasn't able to use it here, after unblocking the third-party requests to CloudFlare for this site. This isn't the first time CloudFlare blocks me, but usually it's a CloudFlare page shown before the actual site's page renders. Internet Service Denier

Yeah, mine just says "Checking if you're a bot..." indefinitely. OpenBSD, Firefox, Chromium. Cloudflare sometimes blocks me from sites because, well, reasons - it doesn't actually say why, but I suspect the whole "weird OS + strict privacy settings in Firefox", because the same sites load just fine on my other machines. /shrug

Same experience here with Firefox Focus on iOS (with enhanced tracking protection on). It’s just stuck at the checking if you’re a bot stage.

  Same with boring old Safari on iOS. Poorly implemented and overly aggressive bot checkers are really ruining the web. Used to be that I was seldom troubled by captchas and similar. Now it seems to be multiple times per day.
