I searched for captcha. I searched for "checking your browser." No hits.

Cloudflare, you are the problem. Plz get off the internet.

Yeah, when I saw the title I thought they were announcing a week of turning off the waiting screen that comes while cloudflare does whatever it's doing - who cares if DNS/HTTP(S) cut milliseconds if you have to spend seconds staring at an artificial waiting screen before actually opening the site. Bonus points, of course, for the delay that is CAPTCHA.

This deserves more upvotes than I can give.

Me too, I've searched for "Tor" and "how we kill anonymised users", and found nothing

Cloudflare is indeed the problem, and the reason why I no longer visit some websites.

Blame the website owners. Tor can be whitelisted in seconds on CloudFlare.
