So you are saying they don't penalize browser from not being Chrome and then link to a specific mechanism that they are allow listing Safari. That goes directly counter to what you are claiming.

I have seen it myself, from my own system. Firefox, almost impossible to use the web due to non-stop bot checks by CF. For the same session, same site(s), I give up and use Chrome, with all the same browser extensions, and I sail right in. Multiple times.

Suspicious traffic is using Firefox, because Chrome browsers are 90%+ of the traffic. And the rich mac users have a special mechanism for bypassing them as your article outlines.

Using Firefox is the internet equivalent of DWB.

This is very much not my experience. I don't know if you use a VPN or have a ton of extensions but if I was hitting that so hard I'd consider trying a clean profile with no extensions and adding things back in to see if you can find the trigger condition.

Firefox on macOS is fine. I've been using it as my primary browser for years. I consistently get captchas on archive.is (and just verified I also do on Brave), but rarely see it elsewhere.

I don't know the cause of what you're seeing, but it's not simply Firefox.

I get them with Firefox on FreeBSD. Chromium on FreeBSD less so.

Firefox on Ubuntu here. I switched over the past couple of months from using Chrome on Windows.

I see exactly the same amount of security checks, as far as I can tell.
