    No no. I think what this prompt is doing, is dishonestly presenting a fake “stuck” captcha check and dishonestly leading the user to believe it’s their ad blocker that is to blame, thus tricking them with this “strategy” to disable it.

    I have adblockers, private DNS, and other tools enabled and have never once failed a Cloudflare check. Google recaptcha on the other hand asks me about motorcycles, traffic lights and busses literally dozens of times in a row.

      I bet you’re using a firefox based browser. There was a brief period years ago when google captchas worked blazingly fast on firefox. This was shortly after mozilla very publicly denounced google for intentionally sabotaging firefox users.
