Cloudflare Human Prompt - eviltoast

I get asked to check the box to prove I’m human multiple times a day, from opening an article on here, to going to cloudflare.com to see if they had advice on not getting hit with it all the time.

If I have a VPN active and/or I am using a secure browser I always tend to get it. Currently using PIA and Cromite. Is there anything short of just giving up privacy that can be used to verify and maybe hold like a token lease so I can maybe only do it once a day or once per VPN connection?

    Not really. Anything you do would also likely be something their targets (AI scrapers) could be made to do. I also think this is a lead-in for Cloudflare to charge money for the privilege of being proven human to avoid their Turnstile platform. Create the problem and then charge for the solution…

      Thanks for the tip, appears to be for Firefox/Chome on desktop versions so I’ll give it a try on a laptop. But at least it will give me a “silk privacy pass alternative for Android” key term to search for my mobile device. Thanks!

        No worries! I believe there is a way to install desktop extensions on Android Firefox, but I’m not sure if it’ll work.
