Title: Across many different pages including science journals, ChatGPT, and many others, CloudFlare verification goes into an infinite loop of:<p>1. &quot;Verify you are a human&quot;<p>2. Check the box or perform some other type of rain dance<p>3. &quot;Please stand by, while we are checking your browser...&quot;<p>4. Repeat step 1<p>I&#x27;m on Fedora Linux 37 using Firefox 110.<p>The workaround is to use Chrome.<p>After experiencing this dozens of times and getting annoyed of needing to use Chrome, I finally went and deleted all my cookies and cache which I had been dreading to do.<p>It did not help.<p>I don&#x27;t have a CloudFlare account so I wrote up a detailed post on their community forums. I offered a HAR file and was willing to do diagnostics. It received no responses and it was auto-closed.<p>It&#x27;s unacceptable that CloudFlare is breaking the internet while offering no community support.<p>Edit: I&#x27;m in Texas. I&#x27;m not using a VPN or Tor, just AT&amp;T Fiber. I don&#x27;t have ad-blockers. No weird extensions. Nothing special (besides being on Linux).<p>Edit2: Since this got traction, I opened a new community post: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;community.cloudflare.com&#x2F;t&#x2F;infinite-verify-you-are-a-human-loop&#x2F;503065<p>To be clear, I&#x27;m not against CloudFlare doing DDoS protection, etc., but it can&#x27;t be breaking the internet <i>while ignoring community posts on it</i>.<p>Edit3: The CloudFlare team has engaged. Thank you HN!
