I've been using Edge Dev as my daily driver for years, and the last couple updates it's been failing Turnstile off and on. I get this error code on https://debug.challenges.cloudflare.com/ that's not currently throwing because it magically started working again.
But when it's not working, I've realized that roughly 30-50% of the internet is walled off to me in this browser profile because I can't pass the black box of Cloudflare's challenge.
What's truly maddening is that bypasses like this one are definitely ubiquitous and that at-scale actors are doing distillation and spamming social media and doing Dead Internet all over the place, but the end result is that I can't log into Letterboxd or whatever.
I don't know, I'm not even mad at Cloudflare, they're doing their best too. And I use LLMs every day, they're powerful tools, and Pandora's box ain't closing. It just feels like the internet has hit peak saturation of DDoS-by-LLM
