A new form of state-level internet filtering that restricts data flow is disrupting access to large portions of the global web for Russian citizens. Cloudflare, the world leader in DDoS protection and high-traffic load management, is being targeted by these new data caps, which appear designed to push users toward Russian-controlled services. Meanwhile, the move leaves Russian businesses dangerously exposed.
Cloudflare and Russia are both bad, take each other down pls
Why is cloudflare bad?
Care to expand on that? Why are captchas bad?
Sorry, I assumed this was already common knowledge. There’s another thread fork from a comment.
Tl;dr they’re not good at their purpose and cause unneeded annoyance to users.
And the cloudflare ones are broken as fuck. It varies but I often just can’t pass them. Answer it, wheel goes round and then back to having to tick it and start again. Beep boop.
If I see a cloudflare check I often just don’t bother loading the site at all.
