I had this problem recently with the Indeed website. (Cloudflare Captcha)
Thanks to someone on Reddit, it was discovered that anyone using a Chromium based browser (Brave, Vivaldi, etc.) on Linux was being punished.
Awfully frustrating having to set up a Virtual Machine just to be able to access one website via Firefox since even my hardened Firefox was being punished.
- anonymousiam 4mo agoWhy not just change your user agent string?
- tardedmeme 4mo agoIt probably fingerprints the browser via TLS fingerprinting.
- mschuster91 4mo agoThat's useless, in fact it makes you stand out even more. There are SDKs that can differentiate based on an awful lot of signals if your user agent corresponds to your actual browser version.
- codedokode 4mo agoBecause the site can compare the user agent with navigator.platform, which your browser fills with great care.
- userbinator 4mo agoThat naturally implies we must patch the browser. "Source code? We don't need no stinkin' source code!"
- codedokode 4mo agoThat's what Russian underground hackers do to create so called "anti-detect" browsers, which can emulate different browser fingerprints. But they are commercial and closed-source.
