Plus I used a tab reloader to reload the page for me. I only login when I can help someone.

Using Firefox,
Trying to translate to English I get:
Verifying you are human. This may take a few seconds.
apparently "a few" is more than 600 seconds... :bawling: ... or never

In the compromise between security and convenience security won big.
Once I show I am human, is there no way of flagging that as 'true' for the next , say, two hours?
Edited to add: and yes, I have emptied cache, and deleted what appear to be the relevant cookies.

C'mon, be patient.
Such attacks can't be fixed in a few hours and cause inconvenience (that's why the 'hackers' do it).

Surely this is unacceptable?

Also, the WebGL API used by CF is not supported in quite a few JS-capable browsers in the MX repos.

Would you rather that we capitulate and let the DDoS take us down?

HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Hi:
With Cloudflare's filtering, the dark mode of the web with the “Dark Reader” extension is not working for me.
Anybody else has this happened, any solution, due to visual problems I find it essential to see the web in dark mode....

Best regards
