Hi, kind of hijacking this conversation but as Cloudflare is unfortunately routing the majority of websites I visit I have to ask this:

Can you guarantee my Firefox browser will keep on working on 'the open internet' now Chrome moves towards "Web Environment Integrity" and Safari towards "Private Access Tokens" and Cloudflare is supporting and implementing such technologies on scale?

I intent to not participate in these DRM APIs with my Firefox browser and would like to keep browsing the internet.

How could Cloudflare guarantee websites dont implement WEI in their codebase. that makes no sense

"will you be supporting WEI and PAT in your captcha/ddos protection services" is a VERY different question to "can you guarantee my Firefox browser will continue to work on the open web"

I haven't been able to visit a site with Cloudflare's bot protection for over a year because it goes into an infinite loop on Firefox.

That usually happens when I'm faking my user agent to use the most popular (windows + Chrome). Once I go back to the default (Linux + Firefox) then CloudFlare seems to allow it.
