What is the alternative solution here? How do you effectively protect access to websites while simultaneously making sure you never get false positives?

I really don't think going back to not having Cloudflare-like services is a step forward. Is there another way?

It's afaik only Cloudflare's way. You don't see that behaviour from Google or Facebook. They really now how to handle the Internet in the "second" and "third world". Cloudflare is like: we don't care about you, you are too poor or a bot. Here is a extension if you are tech-savvy enough to find and install it.

From my perspective Google is far worse. I don't ever see Cloudflare's Captchas but I get Google's all the damn time, because I try to avoid Google properties. They intentionally punish people that aren't regularly using their products.
