Comment on Perplexity AI is complaining their plagiarism bot machine cannot bypass Cloudflare's firewall

Thats your IP, TLS, operating system, full browser environment, installed extensions, GPU capabilities etc. It’s all tracked before the box even shows up, in fact the box is there to give the runtime more time to fingerprint you.

Yeah and the worst part is it doesn’t fucking work for the one thing it’s supposed to do.
The only thing it does is stop the stupidest low effort scrapers and forces the good ones to use a browser.
