That's great news. I looked it up and it seems like it's almost been 2 years; not a very long time. I understand defaulting to re-captcha is a compromise and no better option exists for Cloudflare but you'll have to excuse me for not noticing the difference when I encounter "Your network is sending out automated queries" so often it's effectively a block.
Incorrect. We do not block Tor users by default and we massively changed our handling of Tor a very long time ago.
