Would love to hear about some of the experiences that screen reader users and other folks who use assistive technology have with things like getting caught in the CloudFlare filters and other “human” verification systems.
It seems easy to get caught in the net of “bot detection” as a normal user, and some of the verification steps don’t always seem very accessible.
Obnoxious. I like the extensions I have, thanks. It's my computer. It's the same fingerprint it was 5 minutes ago, and last week.
All efforts to force users into ever newer versions of browsers are primarily motivated by goggle's ever increasing surveillance in each new version.
I love firefox for 15 + years... but i have to quit
Additionally, I wonder how this works on sites with a Content Security Policy that disallows inline styles and style tags and stylesheets without a nonce.
I suppose if Cloudflare is proxying your site, they could get the nonce from the content-security-policy header and use that, but hopefully that would be an opt-in-only behavior.
Also, it appears that it's not implemented through hidden links, but entirely different page content:
> rather than blocking the request, we will link to a series of AI-generated pages that are convincing enough to entice a crawler to traverse them
> This pre-generated content is seamlessly integrated as hidden links on existing pages via our custom HTML transformation process, without disrupting the original structure or content of the page.
> We also ensured that these links remain invisible to human visitors through carefully implemented attributes and styling. To further minimize the impact to regular visitors, we ensured that these links are presented only to suspected AI scrapers, while allowing legitimate users and verified crawlers to browse normally.
