firefox gets past this

chrome doesn't

workaround?

as in submitting a post response or preview a response, just started happening

I have never encountered this at LQ with either Firefox or Konqueror (I don't use Chrome). Indeed, I've encountered it at only one site that I visit periodically, and that with Firefox (which is my primary browser) and on one computer, but not on the other.

I think it's some kind of Cloudflare glitch. A web search for "Please wait... We are checking your browser chrome" turns up a number of articles, most of which seem to involve making sure your time/time zone settings are correct. However, that it works with one browser and not another would seem to rule out any such system-wide settings.

Not a glitch, is a *cough* Cloudflare "feature".

I've seen that message every time I've connected to the board using TOR.

Has happened here a few times with SeaMonkey 2.49.5 with NoScript and dedicated UA Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0. I open the same linuxquestions.com URI in SeaMonkey 2.53.11 with its own UA Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.53.11.1 and no NoScript, paste in the exact same input from 2.49.5, and it works normally first try.

Did you manage to resolve it?

No. Just tried it again with Tor and received the same message.
