This is great but it's stuck checking if I'm a bot... i get this in the console: ``` auto/:1 The resource https://challenges.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform... was preloaded using link preload but not used within a few seconds from the window's load event. Please make sure it has an appropriate `as` value and it is preloaded intentionally. ```

Man I am seeing this _everywhere_ now. If you don’t have a clean residential US IP half the internet doesn’t work.

The silver lining is that I rarely need to use these sites for productive purposes. It is a gentle reminder to return to the text editor.
Make sure you're using Windows or MacOS, too. Anything else is clearly Teh Hax0rz!! :-O
If you're an American abroad you can't even use taxact.com or payusatax.com to file your taxes (which you have to because we're the special ones with citizenship-based taxation) because they block every non-American IP, even western Europe. Intuit surprisingly comes out as the less braindead one here.
Sorry, CAPTCHA caused issues. My other project got a bot attack, so I have added CAPTCHA to all my projects. I didn't realize captcha was causing problems to users
Same. I have EFF "Privacy Badger" installed on chrome, I guess that's it?
