Perhaps that is true, but the Cloudflare anti-bot protection is too stupid and annoying.
They should have used a cookie or something else that does not require asking me every few minutes to prove once more that I am not a bot.
There was a time when Cloudflare had become less intrusive, but for the last months it has begun again to intervene almost each time when opening some pages.
There is no doubt that anti-bot protection can be implemented in a better way than Cloudflare does, but presumably the alternatives would consume more resources on their servers, so probably they choose whatever minimizes their costs, regardless if that ensures maximum discomfort for Internet users.
- post-it 7mo agoYou're getting frequent verification requests because you're behaving like a bot. Are you modifying your user agent string or using a VPN?
- encom 7mo agoWho knows what upsets ClownFlare? I'm using Vivaldi on Linux on IPv6 in Denmark with every uBlock filter enabled and Cookie Auto-delete. That seems to confuse and anger CloudFlare and I get CAPTCHA tarpitted constantly.
- bethekidyouwant 7mo agoSo you know why.
- encom 7mo agoNo, it could be any, or other, totally normal and reasonable factors. Or maybe I posted too much Cloudflare hate on HN and they singled me out. They're in the walls! NO CARRIER +CREG: 0,0
