Cloudflare CAPTCHA Breaks Open Source Browsers: A Month-Long Standoff
2025-03-16
Since January 31st, Cloudflare's CAPTCHA system has been intermittently failing, blocking access to websites for numerous non-mainstream browsers, including Pale Moon. Despite community reports, Cloudflare has offered little to no response, leading to accusations of discrimination against open-source projects. The issue, lasting nearly a month, significantly impacts user numbers and revenue for affected browsers, pushing developers towards considering legal action.
