    True about Javascript since almost all webpages nowadays use it and all use cloudflare as well. But since when does the Cloudflare verification need you to disable adblocker? It never happens with me. I am using Ublock Origins.

    For me, this is evidence that I am navigating to a page that I don’t need to navigate to.

    You fail checks with an adblocker? I have never had that happen with Ublock origin or Adnausium.

      No no. I think what this prompt is doing, is dishonestly presenting a fake “stuck” captcha check and dishonestly leading the user to believe it’s their ad blocker that is to blame, thus tricking them with this “strategy” to disable it.

      I have adblockers, private DNS, and other tools enabled and have never once failed a Cloudflare check. Google recaptcha on the other hand asks me about motorcycles, traffic lights and busses literally dozens of times in a row.

        I bet you’re using a firefox based browser. There was a brief period years ago when google captchas worked blazingly fast on firefox. This was shortly after mozilla very publicly denounced google for intentionally sabotaging firefox users.

    Don’t think I’ve had an adblocker mess with the verification, but I often have to green-light a few things for cloudfare (or other verifier) in uMatrix.
