archive.is has always been really problematic about having overly-aggressive google spyware captchas. half of the time i try to follow one of those links the captcha just outright rejects me because of "suspicious activity" before i can even start
very cool to see that it's somehow gotten infinitely worse
Ugh, yeah. Cloudflare too. I hate it. It's like 2/3 of sites I try,
Then it goes to an enedless reload loop. Or gets stuck.
I went to a site last week that belonged to a human rights organization. It's a ranking of countries by different aspects like economic freedom or w/e, and some articles about their methodolgy. Couldn't load it due to fucking Cloudflare. Cloudflare does not deem me worthy to read about human rights.
Why? Because I try to protect my right to privacy. The irony.
chances are it was FOIA-confirmed slop anyways so cloudfare likely did you a favor. lol
captchas hate vpns
