I hate Cloudflare. I have to constantly fill out captchas when I browse over Tor for more and more sites, and they promote search engine monopolies too. It's too bad SaidIt has so many DDOS attacks, because otherwise it would be much easier for it to avoid it (SaidIt also uses Cloudflare). I'm really glad more resistance is building against it, though, because it does many things that I really dislike.

There is no way to solve the captcha without enabling Javascript and Cookies.

Actually, Google's Recaptcha used to work fine without Javascript, and often even worked a bit better. But now they've switched to HCaptcha, and I need to keep enabling it again.

Tor users and VPN users are also a victim of Cloudflare.

I am a Tor user on desktop and, as mentioned above, I am constantly plagued with captchas all the time the more sites use Cloudflare. Worse, some sites are broken even after filling out the captcha, since their assets are locked behind another Cloudflare-protected domain, meaning I must go to the assets manually to fill out even more captchas to get access to them.

My VPN, AzireVPN, always works fine though. I believe this is because it is smaller than a lot of the bigger VPNs, which is one of the main reasons I chose it. At the time I switched, it was also not blocked by the Great Chinese Firewall.

However, it is not viable for me to stay on my VPN on my main computer, since if I put it on system-wide, none of my websites are accessible, but if I use network namespaces to use only my browser through it (which is a pain to set up in the first place), my audio will not work, since Pulseaudio is running in a different network namespace.

Thank you for this article, by the way. Now I have even more ammo against Cloudflare.
