> Is your user-agent too suspicious? Hello, it's me, your legitimate user who doesn't use one of the 4 main browsers. The internet gets more annoying every day on a simple android webview browser, I guess I'll have to go back to the fully-featured browser I migrated away from because it was much slower > A request rate too inhuman? I've run into this on five websites in the past 2 months, usually just from a single request that didn't have a referrer (because I clicked it from a chat, not because I block anything). When I email the owners, it's the typical "have you tried turning it off and on again" from the bigger sites, or on smaller sites "dunno but you somehow triggered our bot protection, should have expired by now [a day later] good luck using the internet further". Only one of the sites, Codeberg, actually gave a useful response and said they'd consider how to resolve when someone follows a link directly to a subpage and thus doesn't have a cookie set yet. Either way, blocks left and right are fun! More please!
