    I’m actually surprised with the amount of hate towards Cloudflare in this thread. Should Cloudflare punish the vast majority of users by weakening their bot protection for the less than 1% of users who can just override their user agent?

      That’s a shit take. What’s the point of having user-agents if it’s just a race to the bottom for only supporting a smaller list arbitrarily? It’s not like the bots aren’t going to just spoof as Chrome on Windows 11 anyways.
