I always prefer transparency when I’m using any kind of interface, but the frequency of CloudFlare security checks when I’m browsing nowadays is getting ridiculous. It’s always:
Follow a link → CloudFlare interstitial → website loads.
And I know it's just 1-2 seconds, but this wait payload accumulates fast. I really wish the security check happened in background and were invisible to me.
@morrick the stupid part is that if you then try to refresh the page, you get a "submit form again" confirmation, because for some inexplicable reason, Cloudflare loads the page using a POST request after the check completes.
It can't happen in the background because the whole point of this crap is to deny you access to the website altogether if it fails. The security check was never about YOUR security, it's about whatever the website owner calls security. Like not letting Russians see it.
@grishka I suspected it can’t happen in the background. I was just wishing it was possible.
But I’m always thankful for your explanations. It’s great to learn new things every day. Большое спасибо!
@morrick I run into these so often that I have a long thread of various websites doing this to me
