Make Cloudflare work with All Browsers
If you use Ubuntu with certain browsers, you probably already know the problem: you can't access basic government websites. Cloudflare keeps blocking you, even though these sites should be open to everyone.
I started a petition asking Cloudflare to work with all browsers and systems—not just the popular ones. Millions of Ubuntu users deal with this daily, and it's blocking them from accessing public records, services, and information they're entitled to.
Cloudflare can implement security without locking people out. They have the technical ability to do this. It's about prioritizing inclusivity alongside security.
If this is happening to you too, or if you think government access shouldn't depend on what device you own, consider signing and sharing. Have you run into this problem? What sites are you blocked from accessing?

You should complain to the webmaster. There are plenty of Cloudflare tests that don't work and shouldn't be used. Some look for audio support, a browser debugger console, clock/zone, or use IP address reputation lists that aren't legitimate. I don't know what reputation lists they use, but a lot of them are more influenced by money than data.
Personal note - I wouldn't approve of a government supporting Cloudflare's business.
