other browser (FF/Chrome, even old outdatet versions) do work on win7 with cloudscam
I can confirm
My old outdated build of Chropera(latest supported on win7) works fine
I can also confirm that some sites like Fandom Wikis which have CF seem to work on Pale Moon, but others like 4chan or imginn do not

All websites work on Pale Moon, those two included, as confirmed by practically everyone a million times already. I am starting to believe 4chan and imginn might have banned your IP.
Judging by your ramblings here, one can only imagine what you are posting there.

Data point. Went to 4chan, got access without a CF prompt. Went to imginn, got a CF prompt when I tried clicking on a profile. Configured ublock/umatrix for CF, got the forever looping. Backed out of the prompt and clicked another profile, got the prompt, passed it easily. ROMHacking.net worked first try too.

I just delete cache and history (cookies are for extreme cases when site code permanently changes), then close the browser for some time. Reopen, and "infinite checking" eventually works (have to confirm you're not a robot twice or thrice). Maybe I am very patient, but just waiting for 10-20 minutes just works for me.

We are all being sent back to the glory days of dial-up internet, when loading a document or an image file could take a half hour. Thank you for the trip down memory lane, Cloudflare.

No, they do NOT. I'm beginning to think you're a shill for Cloudflare.
I can post on 4chan using Chropera just fine. You don't even understand how the site works, if you're IP Range Banned you can post with a dummy e-mail address in any browser.
This is not what's happening here.
Just because it may work for you, it doesn't mean it will work for everyone.
Just as is the case for me and Kand here.

I'd happily washed my hands of all this, but such claims cannot remain unanswered.
I could very easily enumerate the long list of actions I've taken against Cloudflare to help our project over the years, within and outside of this forum (I am confident many can confirm), but it is not my style.

It may be that your particular setup is being blocked even before the captcha runs.
I get the attached image.
ALSO: check the bottom of that page; that error is thrown by CloudFlare.

I can pass the CF turnstile, but then this white page shows up after that. A white colored page with the words, "Not Found", in the upper top left of the page. I have a feeling this site does not support Pale Moon.
At the time of this post I am using 64 bit (GTK2) linux Pale Moon 34.2.2 running in 64 bit MX Linux 25.1 (Infinity) Xfce.

Make sure Performance Observers are not disabled (in Preferences => Privacy => Tracking => Scripting);
I ran into this issue too.

Good catch. And now the page renders properly, for me, with no CF encounter.

No idea about other websites, but the captcha works again on Steamdb. Clicking on that robot checkbox still only resulted in a reload and wait just a few days ago.

I received a reply finally. They are asking for more information on production that causes issues.
Please let me know the ray IDs of tests that fail, result in a loop, or hang exceptionally long times. Let me know the URL, exact behavior observed, and the ray ID, so I can give them a report of instances that fail.

This is what I see as well, but it is CLEARLY because my eMatrix setup is blocking any and all connections to Cloudflare.
What you've shown is a Cloudflare error page that is served (likely via Cloudflare MITM) when Cloudflare can't do its thing. So figure out what you're doing to block Cloudflare and try again?
