Nope. What sort of problems?
It gets stuck on the 'verify you are human' page.
Chromium has no such problems.
If you set protection settings all the way up in Firefox, Cloudflare will get stuck, yes. I do not consider this a shortcoming of Firefox though, my browser is doing the right thing.
Previously, I kept a Chromium instance around, but now I use a second Firefox profile that still has tracking protection enabled, 3rd party cookies restricted etc., but set to a level where e. g. Cloudflare still works. I trust Firefox to better act out my interests. Using -P, the second profile can be started without launching Firefox's profile manager.
With browsers beginning to actively fight fingerprinting techniques, I expect more sites (legit or not) that rely on these techniques to break. That is fine by me.
Yeah but I expected Cloudflare to be on top of it, not act like some scappy website strung together by duct tape.
I think OP is saying that Cloudflare is behaving that way by design.
Are you blocking JavaScript?
I haven't even seen that page in years, despite recently switching from chrome to FF with all the common privacy plugins.
No but I do have ublock origin, privacy badger, containers, user agent switcher etc.
Yet I do have such problems with Chromium. Not universal though, only on some websites and only sometimes.
