I'm actually surprised with the amount of hate towards Cloudflare in this thread. Should Cloudflare punish the vast majority of users by weakening their bot protection for the less than 1% of users who can just override their user agent?
Which bots use Palemoon as their UA string?
Zero, it's always outdated versions of Firefox or Chrome (if a UA is even provided at all)
That's a shit take. What's the point of having user-agents if it's just a race to the bottom for only supporting a smaller list arbitrarily? It's not like the bots aren't going to just spoof as Chrome on Windows 11 anyways.
Yes
If I remember correctly, Cloudflare openly defended hosting a well known Neo-Nazi forum.
YES!
Yes its should.
