Cloudflare blocking Pale Moon and other browsers

From what I have experienced over the last few years, not all cloudflare serviced sites seem to be equal in rejecting a connection from a different browser, more it seems to come down to what the site has engaged, ie the level of protection.<p>What can be done -- of course something can be done. However I wouldn&#x27;t expect to see much traction until either search engines start to set a flag of what level of silliness <i>protection</i> has been set for a site, esp if blocking is occurring based on the browser being used ... or a popular LLM search service arrives on the scene that can fine tune the sort of sites a user wants to visit. eg set a condition not to display results from those sites which are behind a cloudflare service that has silly settings engaged.<p>Thus site owners &#x2F; admins and coders might care if they are not ranked highly simply for the fact the fact they decided to set up in silly country - last page of results ... they then either change settings, move to a better service or have a chat with their provider to sort it out.
