I get so many cloudflare captchas browsing on Firefox. They mostly go away when I change my user agent string to Chrome. Making the Internet more hostile for a particular group of users is pretty shitty behavior in my book.
I use Firefox and can't remember the last time I got a cloudflare captcha
They've gotten a lot better over Tor - that's the main thing I'm thinking of, actually. I used to give up most of the time when captcha'd, but now with the JavaScript based verification I pretty much always can get in, even on mobile.
Most providers don't give a shit about Tor, or actively try to block it. They actually went out of their way to make it easier.
