What scripts from random subdomains are you referring to? I know that from Cloudfront (Amazon's CDN), not Cloudflare. CF usually keeps everything on your domain.

The "checking your browser" isn't a default CF thing btw, that's up to the site owner and how paranoid they are (with or without reason). It's annoying me too, but we have sites on CF and practically nobody sees any checks when they access our sites.

Good to know that this page is due to the cloudflare customer! I am only seeing the results of that paranoia in my daily browsing and it sucks. I recently had to ban Gitlab into its own browser profile, because with my previous main profile settings, it simply wouldn't let me log in. I am treating it from now on as contagious, because of that "checking your browser" bs.

(I did write a support request message to Gitlab, but their support clearly sucks. What do I know what kind of subscription my employer has? I don't care! They are paying for me, so Gitlab should offer a modicum of support, if I cannot even log in on their shitty site any longer, because of their changes. But they stonewalled with something like: "We need to know your subscription level blablabla before we can continue the process." kinda automated e-mail. Well, duh! Check your friggin database for my subscription level. Oh but then you would actually have to work. Ah that's a problem of course. Better stonewall a paying (paid for) customer.)
