This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I just duplicated this. I downloaded Pale Moon and went to https://hear-me.social/ and clicked on "Register". It puts up a Cloudflare "managed challenge" which loops endlessly when using Pale Moon, but not the other browsers I've tried it with, including Zen, another Firefox fork.
It's a problem, for sure.
As a staunch Pale Moon user, Cloudflare is just being a bully and I circumvent their nonsense when I need to desperately use a particular site or just don't go to that site anymore if I can do without.
Greed. I honestly don't know if they're even aware of the problem. Most corporations have cut teams to the bone and I can't see Cloudflare being an exception. The janitor is probably writing detection rules now.
Pale Moon still exists? Huh
Yeah? I ddos websites with Pale Moon and Iceweasel so what?
I feel like I remember reading that the pale moon JavaScript engine was broken and causing the capcha to break repeatedly?
Let me see if I can find sources
EDIT: Looks like I was remembering a previous issue where the captchas were causing the entire pale moon browser to crash. I believe this has been fixed, but the new issue is a much less exciting block.
I wonder what happens if you use Pale Moon but set the user agent to Firefox.
Another comment suggested that helped with LibreWolf, but that is a closer fork than Pale Moon, so not sure
How can I test, if I get blocked? I just started using Waterfox and so far no issues.
You can go to https://hear-me.social/ and click on the register button. This puts up a Cloudflare managed challenge screen which endlessly loops when using Pale Moon. It would be interesting to see if Waterfox has the same issue.
Works fine with Waterfox.
Works with librewolf.
Took a minute and a refresh, but it worked on Ironfox on android.
