    Well, that’s not entirely wrong: the website owner is responsible for contracting with Cloudflare in the first place.

    is this true though? https://chaos.social/@sindastra/108714913157859617:

    By default, Cloudflare does not block Tor users.

    It really is the site admin who configures Cloudflare to block Tor.

    This is like adding Tor exit node IPs to iptables, except they’re using Cloudflare instead of >iptables. It’s the site admin who really is responsible. You wouldn’t blame iptables, either.

    This is FUD.

      Also it only does this if you’re using cf proxy which is pointless if you’re running tor.

      you should use a SearX or searXNG instance instead of google anyway.

          perhaps Buster would make it a bit less of a hassle? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/buster-captcha-solver/

            This is hilarious since the whole point of captcha is to verify if you’re a human

              you want more hilarious? you can configure the addon to use Google’s own speech recognition engine.
