True about Javascript since almost all webpages nowadays use it and all use cloudflare as well. But since when does the Cloudflare verification need you to disable adblocker? It never happens with me. I am using Ublock Origins.
It doesn’t. Some webpages have redirects that instruct you to enable javascript, disable ad blockers and disable vpn. But that makes the ‘joke’ fall flat.
I wonder if anyone even disables ad blockers when they see the actual message because even if I might enable js, I’ve never, not once, disabled ad blocker or vpn at a website’s behest.
not ever using that site anymore strategy no %
see, the moment that i see an ad is when i re-enable my adblock. at the latest.
If a site doesn’t work with adblock enables I don’t use it. I never turn that shit off. There is nothing on the internet I need to look at badly enough to do that. If the entire internet stopped working with adblockers I’d stop using it.
For me, this is evidence that I am navigating to a page that I don’t need to navigate to.
Yeah I’d rather just load a different page.
Not disabling my adblocker for any reason.
Plenty of other pages on the www : )
Or it’s time to check the way back machine or archive.is
Archive.is is the worst offender for this. The only page I can’t get to load, just keeps showing the goddamn cloudflare and refreshing back to it.
I’ve had that happen to me on archive.is 🙃
They’re both the same picture.
You fail checks with an adblocker? I have never had that happen with Ublock origin or Adnausium.
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.
I found it depends on your user agent rather than ad blocker…
I just enable captcha.cloudflare, not all JS
Don’t think I’ve had an adblocker mess with the verification, but I often have to green-light a few things for cloudfare (or other verifier) in uMatrix.
I sometimes get fandom stuck on that for a bit but refreshing always solves it so I’m not bothered.
I do not bother myself with websites that use cloudflare anymore.
So like, 75% of the web?
reasonable tbf
