Someone made a very suspicious fedpost and Cloudflare used that as justification to take the site down.
If you have any info as this develops, feel free to post.

Sadly, even Communities.win (or at least c/KIA2) uses cloudflare. Gab too. It's everywhere, and it needs to change. Non-google browsers are restricted by Cloudflare as well. I can't access Nhentai or IGGGames or GOG-Games anymore..
Those work on Brave.
brave is chromium
But not chrome.
chrome and chromium are basically the same. It's the same engine and the same people behind it. Google.
Because brave is a google browser...
Chromium isn't Chrome.

It has nothing to do with DNS. I've been using the same browser and VPN for a while, and it used to work. Now it doesn't anymore. When I search for anything in the search field, Cloudflare stops me and starts loading endlessly.
The reason is Googles stranglehold over the Internet. If you use any chromium based browser you are feeding into the problem, yes, even brave. Googles marketshare in terms of browser is just too damn high. I hate Mozilla with a passion but Firefox is the only viable competitor... Since a lot of sites are optimised to work on chromium based browsers you have certain websites that work semi fine or not that great sometimes.
Firefox is chrome/ium-lite, and both founded on google money and uses google tech. Like their extensions among other things. It's not a competitor. Pale Moon is. You're completely right about google's stranglehold on the internet though. Unless we say no to it.
