Cloudflare is turning off the internet for me
The problem presented by services like ReCaptcha and Cloudflare is a tough nut to crack.<p>They&#x27;re silently embedded in a huge portion of modern websites, and the average user will never even know about them.<p>But it seems to be way too easy for them to blanket-ban or serve an absurd amount of captchas to powerusers, linux gurus, privacy geeks, or anyone with the wrong combination of browser+addons. And the failures (as in this case) are often silent, cryptic, un-fixable from the user end, and can prevent us from accessing massive swaths of the internet. Any thoughts surrounding this conundrum?<p>Solutions:<p>1. Everyone stops using ReCaptcha&#x2F;Cloudflare.<p>- Never going to happen. They dominate the market because they are useful, well-made services.<p>2. Launch a competing product that accomplishes the same thing.<p>- Good luck competing with these giants. Also, how would your implementation differ to solve this issue?<p>3. Powerusers and tech nerds must conform to &#x27;normal&#x27; browser configurations and disable privacy addons in order to enjoy the internet with &#x27;normal&#x27; users.<p>- Two steps backwards in every conceivable way. The giants gain more invisible power and powerusers suffer decreased productivity&#x2F;privacy. Not going to happen.
