News: Cloudflare Turnstile requiring fingerprintable WebGL

[immanuelfodor]

Hey Team 👋

Maybe this is interesting news for the FlareSolverr project in two ways:

• Further restrictions incoming that the project might have to implement
• Or there is an escape hatch through Safari's exemption that can be leveraged

Since about a week, Cloudflare Turnstile (their "Verify you're human" device verification) has been looping indefinitely in my webkit-gtk based browser. [...] Turns out it's because Cloudflare wants to have a fingerprint of your device via WebGL [...] So Cloudflare just banned all WebKitGTK browsers as I guess they put an exception for Safari.
