Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
many like to claim its fixed on a clean profile @biopsin, but because i am not dumping any extension because a recovery was done by the cloudfare staff..
check my exchange with drugwash.. it might work with this extension:

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
I tried doing all those things. I even tried turning off the ad-blocker. I still get the same result.Drugwash wrote: ↑2025-03-19, 19:45For what it's worth I just tested a minute ago and stories do load for me, challenge is succesful.Goodydino wrote: ↑2025-03-19, 19:35[...] https://www.fanfiction.net/game/Myst-Riven/

Make sure you're not making the same mistake as I did before, having assigned a different user-agent to that domain.
cloudflare.com, challenges.cloudflare.com and cloudflareinsights.com must be allowed in any and all adblockers.
WebGL and hardware acceleration must be enabled too.
Also check if HTML5 is enabled for the domain (not sure if it matters but better be safe).

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
There must be something in your profile that still blocks one or more of the tests performed by the challenge.
Have you tried restarting in safe mode (from the Help menu)? Please double-check all the above-mentioned settings, including HTML5 Media - as it turns out is mandatory to be fully enabled - and try the safe mode. And if that still doesn't work then try with a fresh clean new profile, just for making sure it's not something else blocking the scripts. Do pull down the Error Console (Menu > Tools > Developer Tools > Error Console) and check if there's any related errors. Clean anything that doesn't pertain to the current test, before that.

The index page loads, but I still cannot read any of the stories. In fact, the only browser i have that still works with the site is Safari.
Firefox ESR 115 (default internal settings) works.

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
@night wing & @biopsin,
there must be a weird script blocking your cloudfare verification. i thougt id have had to go through all my extensions,
but it was 2 userscripts that i've removed & by that, i can tell you "HTML5 Media Tuner" isn't needed.
disable all ur scripts & test the site reenabling all scripts one by one & deleting cookies at every verification.
& if it's not one of ur userscripts, it's certainly one of your ublock filters.
All's fixed now.

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
Yeah if anyone is still having issues, using a Clean Profile is a good way to tell whether it's you or CF. If you've been following all this here, you may have made several changes or been using an addon that isn't needed anymore atm and will only get in the way. If CF sites work in a Clean Profile, you know you forgot to revert one or more changes in your default profile.

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
A few minutes ago I tried to access CamelCamelCamel.com using Pale Moon 33.6.1 in Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon and it hung my system. It is hard to experiment with possible changes in this circumstance.

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
I just tried CamelCamelCamel.com in a clean new profile with Pale Moon 33.6.1 and I got a Cloudflare verification check which I was able to pass without any issue.

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
That is useful to know. Supposing I can get a clean profile also to pass how would I go about getting my real profile to work too? The problem being that if every change requires a forced reboot I'll waste a lot of time and maybe damage something else in my system.andyprough wrote: ↑2025-03-21, 01:20I just tried CamelCamelCamel.com in a clean new profile with Pale Moon 33.6.1 and I got a Cloudflare verification check which I was able to pass without any issue.

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
I was also able to reach the website above just like you did without any problems from Cloudflare, but I am "not" using a clean new profile. This profile for 64 bit linux Pale Moon 33.6.1 (GTK2) is running in 64 bit Linux Mint 22.1 (Xia) Xfce and was created on January 15th, 2025.andyprough wrote: ↑2025-03-21, 01:20I just tried CamelCamelCamel.com in a clean new profile with Pale Moon 33.6.1 and I got a Cloudflare verification check which I was able to pass without any issue.

I was able to visit the site in question with my non-vanilla modified PM profile (after allowing it in eMatrix).Navigator wrote: ↑2025-03-21, 01:32That is useful to know.

My troubleshooting info to compare with: viewtopic.php?f=70&t=32086&p=259700#p259624
Only thing that's changed from that is using uCyborg's uBO instead.

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
I just switched to UCyborg's UBO too, I forgot about that. Also I can access camelcamelcamel.com and pass the CF test on my default profile.
