I use Chameleon. My user agent changes every 30 seconds

Doesn't that causes issues with sites using Cloudflare anti bot protection? But maybe my add-on was sending a different one for each request. I am using User Agent Switcher. I disabled it and only enable it on YouTube.

It depends how horribly the website has misconfigured cloudflare. I can log into cloudflare's website.

Generally I prefer websites that don't use cloudflare. Its a massive security risk

How is Cloudflare a massive security risk?

How are they not? They are a MITM and a company based in The US.

You're not wrong.

I’m like that :-) Going to have to give it a try.

I kinda want to see one of Microsoft’s websites having a javascript seizure trying to recommend you switch to Edge 😂
