Getting hit with "Prove you are a human" at every other website

I click on websites posted here to read the articles and every other one of them requires me to solve some fking puzzle or click on a checkbox or some other bullshit. With cloudflare acting like a bouncer at almost 50-60% of the pages and the weird anime girl on 10-20% of the pages doing some fuck all calculations on my browser and google capctha requiring me to play the damn select crosswalks...

I have used this extensively previously when I had to quickly share a UI prototype with my Product manager. There used to be all sorts of cors error when I also had a backend. Then I realised its just better to make a branch and deploy it in amplify and add the cors origin in the backend. But its good for quick UI sharing

No, I dont think I will. closes website

The www.reddit.com shows me a banner after 10 seconds to login/signup. So annoying. I refresh multiple times to make that banner go away. It sometimes does sometimes doesn't. Such user hostile stuff.
