Cloudflare checks broken again?

[digitalaudiorock]

I have tried it from multiple systems (Win7, Win10) and multiple browsers (PaleMoon, FireFox, Tor, Edge) and only Egde and Tor display CF pages! (Chrome is not installed on any system, so I can't comment on that)

Not sure as to what you mean as far as FireFox. That works for me under both Windows and Linux. It's probably one of the few browsers those ass-hats actually test their crap with. Chrome works as well. My guess is that they test FireFox, Chrome, and Edge, and fuck everyone else apparently.

It's also interesting to note that all the browsers that DO work, work WITHOUT ever prompting for that checkbox. That seems to be where stuff breaks.

if they're going to hold the internet hostage, could they at least be good at it?

Ahh...I take that back. I've been having cases where FireFox does prompt with the checkbox, and still works.

But yea, it's starting to look like palemoon may be SOL for a while at this rate.

That's a contradiction in terms.

Yes I noticed the same. This was what I check from their official forum.
"There are reports of Cloudflare's browser integrity check being broken again. This is causing users to be stuck in a loop when trying to access certain websites. The issue seems to be affecting multiple users and websites, and it is not limited to a specific operating system or browser."

[back2themoon]

Cloudflare responded that they fixed it. Please verify, can't check right now.

Starting just today I see I can't get past the Cloudflare checks trying to access https://1337x.to.

Can access now using latest Basilisk. I imagine PM is fine now too. I guess somebody who finally gave a crap noticed the support ticket or thread.

[digitalaudiorock]

Yes! Both sites I had issues work with Palemoon today.

Also working for me too.

[back2themoon]

Yes, it has been fixed.

Hey everyone, thanks for flagging this. We’ve fixed the issue for the latest Pale Moon release (33.0.1).

Call me grumpy, but this sounds like a guarantee that we'll be dealing with it again, sooner or later.

This will almost certainly be the case. This happens about once per year.

[back2themoon]

Perhaps someone should speed up the process by instructing "AI" to automatically detect the issue, create a "Broken Integrity Check yet again" topic in the Cloudflare Community and hourly post some Ray ID's there to save us the trouble.

Confirmed fixed too in the Scandinavia area.

This was poorly handled by CF. They did not update my open ticket visibly (although the activity timestamp was updated early this morning so I'm assuming it was escalated (after 3 days) to someone who could actually look into this). I've dropped an update into it relaying "verified fixed" with the suggestion they include Pale Moon in their captcha test suite for the future.

I'd bet on it, given they're done so three years running now. It's pretty clear that they frequently make major changes involving insanely complex JavaScript and only test it in mainstream browsers. I'd guess they test Edge, FireFox and Chrome.

Thanks! Hopefully they'll do so, though my confidence is pretty low.

It seems to work again.

[KlarkKentThe3rd]

Seconding, it's all fixed. Cloudflare people did their job.

[cannonmc]

Yes, working with the sites I use. Thanks to whoever. Let's hope they have taken note

[Kand_in_Sky]

Let's hope they have taken note

see ya in a few months

[cannonmc]

Sadly, you're probably right

Out of curiosity did anyone from Cloudflare own up and tell people what happened. Or am I being stupid?
