The browser hangs when I click on a location (which loads the Turnstile widget at the bottom).
I actually looked into this a bit more... are you sure this is caused by the cloudflare box? to me it seems like problematic event handlers because it seems to preload the form contents just not showing it until you click, and "unhiding" the relevant version of the form with scripting is what seems to hang the browser (possibly recursive stuff looking at how it locks up) and not necessarily the captcha in that form...

Seeing lockup in my national election body's precinct finder website which uses Cloudflare: https://precinctfinder.comelec.gov.ph/voter_precinct

The browser hangs when I click on a location (which loads the Turnstile widget at the bottom).
This seems to be due to the way it inserts an input element, such that it doesn't show up. I was unable to overcome it automatically, but here's a manual workaround.
  1. Open the page;
  2. open the inspector;
  3. search for rv, which should select #rv-captcha, Enter twice to move to it;
  4. open it up, you should see <div></div>;
  5. edit that as HTML;
  6. add a space (just something to modify it);
  7. click away (or Ctrl-Enter), now the input element should show up;
  8. now you should be able to select your location.
Does anyone know how to get the ray ID in this situation?
View the source, you'll see the rayId at the bottom.

Well then, I guess that old jackal wasn't wrong when he said, "Linux makes everything difficult." :coffee:
This makes me wonder, is BSD make things any easier than linux or is it harder.

If its OpenBSD I am sure its the latter due to the constant changing of it.

I suddenly started experiencing issues with fanfiction.net again, endless loading loops and an unresponsive browser. Everything worked fine in a clean profile, though. I realized I was still on version 33.6.0.1, and after updating, everything magically went back to normal. Whatever workaround they implemented to support Pale Moon doesn’t seem very reliable.

I'd like to know how often they switch tests so I know how long to wait before trying again when blocked.
