Browser Support • Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
It's quite obvious that their technology doesn't check whether I'm a bot or not. The only achievable goal is to delay a user's access to the site for a random amount of time. If I really needed a bot, I'd build it from the latest source code of some popular browser, and it would obviously pass Cloudflare's checks. So, for an attacker, this wouldn't be a serious problem. But for regular users, it is.
And, by the way, I have absolutely no doubt that Cloudflare is well aware of all the problems with their scripts, and there's no point in notifying them, reporting Ray ID, complaining, etc. They know everything perfectly well. It just works exactly as intended.
And yes, this isn't just my problem as a user, but more of a problem for the website owners who use this technology. I simply won't visit their sites, look at their ads, or buy anything from them. Thank goodness, there are plenty of online stores, and I can find the information I need elsewhere.
