Cloudflare dropped captchas back in 2022 [0], now it's just a checkbox that you check and it lets you it (or does not).

And this mean that my ancient android tablets can no longer visit many cloudflare-enabled sites.. I have a very mixed feelings about this:

I hate that my tablets are no longer usable so I want less Cloudflare;

but also when I visit websites (on modern computers) which provide traditional captchas where you click on picture of hydrants, I hate this even more and think: move to Cloudflare already, so I can stop doing this nonsense!

The checkboxes are also captchas.

but there are more user-friendly captchas than the hydrants, which on average could be better that a total block on the tablets?
