Sometimes I’m able to get around it by tweaking some ublock permissions, but once I was surprised to discover that changing my user-agent with user-agent switcher seemed to do the trick. It’s really strange. Cloudflare’s captcha loops are inscrutable.

Just a heads up, archive.is is not related to the internet archive and I believe is run by a solo dev with private funding.

I looked into who runs it a bit and oh wow, it’s far far worse than that. If you get a captcha from archive.is / archive.ph / archive.today and allow it scripting permission, it seems to use your browser as part of a DDoS attack. See infosec.exchange/@iampytest1/115902693235671566 and linked pages.
