Since a few days ago, I've been getting Captchas hourly or more.

It's probably because I use Firefox on Linux with an ad blocker.

For my part, I've ensured we don't use Cloudflare at work.






Using Linux is rare among the general public, but very normal among the kind of person who may find themselves working at Cloudflare or at a potential cloudflare partner/customer.

I don't really buy the argument that they're pushing more captchas to you just because of using Firefox on Linux with an ad blocker.


I use firefox on linux with an ad blocker and cloudfare works fine

It must depend on something else. Firefox & Linux have always worked fine for me, I cannot remember when I last got restricted by a Cloudflare captcha.
