How does Cloudflare know you are using the fork? Can you not just set the user agent to match firefox's (or even chrome's for that matter)

Quite likely fingerprinting detection, which is remaining firmly enabled.

    How does that work technically? Presumably a fork of firefox is almost indistinguishable from firefox from Cloudflare's perspective?
