Forget Tor, what about VPNs and shared networks? CloudFlare has a great way to make the web unusable. The number of small blogs that seem to use it has become infuriating.
I typically browse via a VPN, and CF present their capture blocking on every CF site visited. This wouldn't be too bad, but the captcha is often infuriating and the CF page + capture is consistently one of the slowest loading.
Lumping every user of a VPN or shared network in with the spammers is short sited, and "allowing customers (of Cloudflare presumably?) to whitelist" rather than presenting any possible solution for the innocent browser is typical of what the internet has become.
If someone is on a large shared network - VPN or university NAT, someone will have virus, spam or other crap on their machine. There needs to be a solution that ensures the other hundreds of people on that net can be minimally impacted. Perhaps a way to captcha ONCE per xx hours as a browser, rather than 5x in 5 minutes as is often the case now.
It's got so annoying I find myself wishing someone made an Adblock filter list for CF sites.
OK, that was careless writing. Better would be "Of equal importance". Net result right now is Cloudflare is equally unfriendly to both classes of users.
I'd imagine the solutions similar, though someone on Tor would probably care far more about using a CF cookie for captcha bypass solution than someone on a large NAT.
