[ew] CF site forces long cookie interview and gives the boot to Lynx
Since limescale is soluble in cold water, would a cold descaling solution be more effective?
First attempt to load this shitty Cloudflare page resulted in a forced cookie popup with no “reject all” option. There are ~50+ or so switches to click off spanning two tabs (one hidden way at the bottom in fine print for “vendors”). Fuck that.
Usually when I encounter this particular variety of shit I switch to “torsocks lynx '$URL'”. In this case, it gave a 403 claiming “enable javascript and cookies to continue” to Lynx.
Then I loaded the archive version in Firefox with js and animations both disabled, and finally the text was reachable. But then an animation at the bottom played anyway. So I had to disable still images to stop the animation (guessing the ad is an animated GIF).
What a disasterous display of web enshitification. Feel free to comment on how one might handle this in a more effortless way without agreeing to the cookies.
