Comment (by paradox):
It is getting worse.
Got a Google captcha. Clicked on audio challenge. Instead of a series of
numbers the message was:
"Your computer or network maybe sending automated queries.
To protect our users, we cannot process your request right now."
(Here the full message:

Subsequently right after the audio message clicked on "Get a visual
challenge".
Solved the warped image correctly. Got the content.
This happened repeatedly over the course of several hours. Each time with
different content, requested from different exit node located in different
countries.
Each time the same pattern, audio message denies, visual challenge carries
on.
I think we should determine the responsibilities in the Google-Cloudflare
mishmash for indiscriminately denying a minority group of privacy
conscious users access to web content.
