Show HN: Curl modified to impersonate Firefox and mimic its TLS handshake
I run a MITM proxy for adblocking/general filtering and within the past little while I've noticed CloudFlare and other "bot protection" tends to get me blocked out of increasingly more sites I come across in search results, so this will be very useful for fixing that.However, I should caution that in this era of companies being particularly user-hostile and authoritarian, especially Big Tech, I would be more careful with sharing stuff like this. Being forced to run JS is bad enough; profiling users based on other traits, and essentially determining if they are using "approved" software, is a dystopia we should fight strongly against. Stallman's Right To Read comes to mind as a very relevant warning story.
