It seems that if you use Firefox with an adblocker then cloudflare spam is all you see. Though I have experienced this in plain Firefox too.

Cloudflare are a scummy company trying to force you to use one browser and view all ads.

It can't be just that. I use Firefox on Linux with ublock origin, strict tracking protection, and clear cookies on exit, and I've never ever seen a cloudflare challenge. Not even on sites with that "verifying your browser" page enabled.

Maybe you're right, I see it all the time. Assume cloudflare do other dumb stuff too then like up ranges and just being generally crap at their jobs.
