I run a few Linux desktop VMs and Cloudflare's Turnstile verification (their auto/non-input based verification) fails for the couple sites I've tried that use it for logins, on latest Chromium and Firefox browsers. Doesn't matter that I'm even connecting from the same IP.

I'd presumed it was just the VM they're heuristically detecting but sounds like some are experiencing issues on Linux in general.



I guess it’s time to update our user agent strings like I did with konquerer 20 years ago.

Looks like there’s a plugin for that https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/user-agent-switcher...
