Dear Maintainer,

It's a nice browser!  I've used it for some time, very helpful for what I need it for.

Recently cloudflare has started looping over and over trying to verify for instance
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/

I can't seem to figure out anyway around this...

Thanks,
bw

Cloudflare is constantly changing their verification mechanisms, and they
apply different mechanisms for different websites.  So, it isn’t possible to
create a one-size-fits-all solution.  However, at a minimum, if Cloudflare
displays a verification screen you usually need to enable JavaScipt and
cookies (Local Storage), as, when verification passes, it sets a cookie noting
the fact, and then checks to make sure it is there.

In addition, you may need to enable DOM Storage, change the user agent, and
disable some of the filter lists.

In the case of linuxquestions, currently all I currently need to do is enable
JavaScript and cookies (Local Storage).  YMMV over time.
