Vivaldi gets stuck/repeating Cloudflare's "Checking your browser before accessing" DDoS prevention page
-
I'm having an intermittent issue, where Cloudflare's browser check page gets stuck repeating infinitely. The "ray id" updates now and then, but I can't get to the site. When this has happened, I've tested accessing the same site with Chrome and Edge, and while both have triggered the same check, they pass through within seconds. Only Vivaldi ever gets stuck. This has happened on multiple websites, so doesn't seem website specific. It also doesn't seem extension specific, because I run the same set of extensions with the same settings on Chrome and Vivaldi.
Anyone else seen similar behavior?

@jubuttib No, but I don't go to sites like this that abuse browser sniffing, either.

@jubuttib Make sure you're accepting cookies from Cloudflare and that you keep cookies from the site you're visiting, otherwise you'll get it over and over again.
Not sure what other heuristic methods CF uses to detect bots.
I suppose you've done changes to your Vivaldi install that you've not done in Chrome or Edge.

@Pathduck The only settings I could think of were the built-in adblocking, and accepting 3rd party cookies (which I should have blocked on all browsers). When it happens again I'll try turning those off one by one to see if it solves the issue. As I said, this seems to be an intermittent issue, not one I can always replicate, unfortunately.

@jubuttib I experience this issue in every browser (not just with Vivaldi) on some websites that use CloudFlare. So I can assure you this is probably an issue on CloudFlare or the website's end.

Interesting, when it happens does it happen on all browsers, or just one like it does on my end? And yeah I'm sure the specific website/Cloudflare implementation has an effect, would be interesting to figure out what it is though and see if it can be worked around.

If it is useful, I have resolved this problem with this annoying stuck Cloudflare checking message when I reset to default a installed UA spoofer extension.
