Sorry, you have been blocked

Instantly blocked by Cloudflare without even the usual cumbersome javascript probes. The web is getting worse so quickly that it's difficult to read the articles about how the web is getting worse.

Cloudflare is totally collecting data, why else would they want you to disable Javascript blockers or fingerprint detection.

The reason is because they use that stuff to help determine if you're a bot.

reCAPTCHA Enterprise interacts with the customer backend and webpages to trigger a sequence of JavaScript, HTML, and token authentication events.

No it’s not, bots are scripted to do things. Cloudflare stops JavaScript blockers, it’s not the same thing.
