Cloudflare is hell when you need to load scripts and css 403'd by them.

Here's my work around:

1) open developer tools 2) refresh page 3) move tab into a new window 4) find a blocked resource in the network tab of developer tools and open it in a new tab 5) verify humanity 6) repeat step 4 and sometimes 5 for each resource the page requires 7) move the problematic site out of the new window and close all of these tabs at once

It is a terrible experience. CF devs and publishers have no idea how inconvenient their service is. I wonder if they have ever lived in a region where every ISP is both incompetent and listed in the CBL?

I frequently skip sites that use CF. The captchas are obnoxious.

The entire concept of a webapp firewall seems a bit backwards to me. Developers should fix their insecure applications.
