What I really want right now is a search engine that ignores sites that are hidden behind cloudflare since their captcha never allows my weird web browser setups through.

@mauve Okay so now I have to know what your setup is. The main one that gets blocked for me is Edbrowse, github.com/edbrowse/edbrowse, running in my linux terminal over ssh, speaking to my Windows screen reader over a TCP pipe and a Rust-based server. I mean, that's how all my traffic from this machine arives, but edbrowse is where I spend a lot of my day. Less and less of that is on the web these days though because of fucking cloudflare.

@TheQuinbox @mauve Edbrowse makes my brain melt. That's why I now only have 1/16 of a brain cell left. I'm just amazed you use it so well. I do like its docs though.

@pixelate @TheQuinbox Ha ha, edbrowse is way more fancy than my setup.

I just have a custom electron based browser with some extensions in it for privacy protection.

Really not sure what triggers cloudflare to infinitely loop their captcha checking thing on it since it should be equivalent to chromium. 🤷

@mauve @pixelate If you're an IRC person you should show up in the edbrowse irc, there's been some work done on figuring out what makes cloudflare tick and trying to get its passing score up in edbrowse and it's a good time even if you don't use edbrowse.

@TheQuinbox @mauve Stupid question, but why use something like Edbrowse over a conventional browser?
