Cloudflare Introduces Default Blocking of A.I. Data Scrapers

Download Brave.

Turn on Tor and browse for a week.

Now you know what “undesirables” feel like, where “undesirables” can be from a poor country, a bad IP block, outdated browsers, etc.

It sucks.

I already said in another post I am looking at Bunny, but they also don't seem to want to take my money. I've tried 3 cards. I am willing to pay for a good service, but I will be honest, I don't know many of cloudflare's competitors

It's kind of an impossible problem though. They either save some tracking cookie to link your sessions between websites, or they have to re captcha check you on every website.

Some large percentage of people fail when directed to the Tor browser; I don't know why.

This is not a good reason to suggest Brave instead of Tor Browser.
