Cloudflare infinite loop

https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/118680/cloudflare-infinite-loop

Some sites using Cloudflare verification refuse to open: no way to get past the Cloudflare bot protection infinite loop. Searching this forum I see that some users have had a similar problem with Vivaldi on Android, but this is Vivaldi on Linux.
The original install was with the deb-package.
Is there any workaround?

Version: 8.0.4033.35 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Chromium Version: 148.0.7778.221
Channel: Official Build
Platform / OS: Linux - debian 7.0.10deb14-amd64

Additionally, going to whatismybrowser.com reports my browser as:
Chrome 148 on Linux
Perhaps, changing it somehow could get me past Cloudflare's paranoid behaviour?

@LeChatQuiLit We need examples. The RayID shown at the bottom of CloudFlare's dialog can be useful to provide to.

Please check if any of what is mentioned in https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/117404/cloudflare-verification-and-vivaldi-april-2026 apply to your install, and if so, please provide information.

If you could run a test at https://browser-compat.turnstile.workers.dev/ and if your test fails, please file a bug and attach the full output that you can access in the dialog.

Note that I just did a test with my Linux installations (snap and deb), and both passed.

A few weeks ago we did notice a problem with Linux/Mac; and notified Cloudflare about; presently not aware of status of that Cloudflare side.

  The test at turnstile went well -- no problems. I tried opening the site that caused me such problems yesterday, and lo and behold -- the site opened! Yesterday, opening this site was impossible, whtever I did: turning off the VPN, turning off ad-blocker and other extensions, allowing third-party cookies -- nothing helped. Today Cloudflare test went with no problem. I don't know what changed, since between yesterday and today there were no updates to either Vivaldi or to any other package that could have affected it.

    @LeChatQuiLit Good to hear; no idea what changed, unless something happened due to our reports of other problems.

@LeChatQuiLit Some sites use bad protection rules in their Cloudflare installation.

For Vivaldi can be caused by, only guessed:
Blocked Cookies
Ad-Tracker-Blocker used
Restrictive Blocker Lists
Privacy extension
Use of VPN pr Proxy
