Hi, my Librewolf browser has been blocked, I can still access it via Chrome.
Cloudflare Ray ID: 84dcc5fbef425d25
I don't really want to use Chrome, is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thanks
Update: Libre Wolf was using Firefox 91
From scotty "Firefox/91 in firewall because it was used by bots to launch DDoS"
I updated to the latest version and have no issues
Librewolf User Agent is set to this Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0
Sorry, I don't know enough to do tech support for CloudFlare DDoS protection, but googling that plus blocking Librewolf would be my first step.
All good, thanks for your help
Yep I'm updating now, thanks for the tip
We explicitly blocked Firefox/91 in firewall because it was used by bots to launch DDoS. Change it to something else or use the latest Firefox.
Ahhh… that is why my firefox stopped working!
Thanks, will do
user name checks out.

OzB works on Librewolf for me.
Blocked on Firefox for me. v122.0 specifically
Working fine for me on v122.0 (which is the latest stable release)
Oh so this is why I get these Cloudflare security confirmation screens coming up from time to time…
It's working on my Brave browser, but I keep getting blocked on the Android app. Which sucks because that's the main way I keep an eye on new posts…
I've got no problems viewing OzBargain on Brave Android app
Sorry, I was unclear. My Brave browser on my PC is fine. The separate Ozbargain Android app is not working.
OzBargain Android App might not get developed / maintained, and the best way to access OzBargain on mobile is via the web browser. Do you have any specific use for app?
I just find it convenient more than anything else - download, login, set and forget sort of thing. If it becomes obsolete then I'll transition over to the mobile site - maybe just add the site link to my home screen so I don't have to type it into the address bar every time. But I definitely get good value out of the app, so if there's any desire (or demand) to keep it then that would be fantastic
If the website could be properly enabled as a PWA, that would be awesome, so that iOS users can receive the "desktop" push notifications.
I'm blocked from Brave android. Cloudflare Ray ID: 84e031a8bf763e5d
I'm not blocked but it takes about 15 seconds to verify me, every time even when using Chrome.. I'm not even changing my IP or anything.
Is this really necessary?
For those of us who can't upgrade Firefox or Chrome further because of device limitations (e.g. older MacBook) I really hope some sort of challenge could be put in place, rather than this persistent block.
How about a user agent changer addon as an alternative? This one lets you specify user agent for specific sites.
Doesn't work on Brave for me either
The site is getting DDoS'd so they have CloudFlare protection turned on.
For some reason, it doesn't like Librewolf, presumably it doesn't provide an acceptable user agent.
When the DDoS abates and they turn off the CloudFlare protection it will probably be ok.
In the meantime, maybe set Firefox as your user agent in Librewolf?
