CloudFlare is as evil as Google if not more and people don't seem to realize that. Solving their captcha doesn't help; it requires solving about 15 captchas before granting access. I gave up and I always use Chrome when that happens. It wastes a lot of time, it slows humanity - not only by solving those captchas but also by this slow "checking your browser is secure" javascript, it adds up on a massive scale. As more services adopt CloudFlare, users are hostage. And they no longer decide which browser to use. At the same time all traffic goes through CF which acts like a massive surveillance hub. Very depressing. It started as a DDOS protection (which could help some people) but ended up with all this WAF js "browser security" crap. I wish CF never existed.
