All non-functioning sites have started working again without any configuration changes, so yay!

I don’t know what this means. I do know cloud fair, which is a server farm? They host videos? But I don’t know about pale moon, and Firefox forks water fox classic.

If you want to tell me about it, that would be cool. Is this censorship?

Cloudflare is website defense against DDoS attacks. They are now denying access to sites not because they are attacking but because of their indie-browsers.

I use Waterfox, Palemoon, Basilisk, and now LibreWolf - all forks of Firefox.

Thank you. So browsers that let you do what you want are banned by cloud fare. That sucks.

      Well, have fun filling out 100 captchas per browsing session. And it won't even make an impact when people do it individually; it should be coordinated. Tor Browser uses a standardized UA. I think it's better to encourage people to use that one, or simply to use the Tor Browser itself. I believe Librewolf uses the same UA.
