- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13667315, 7 years agoIt earns a star above the minimum because it is functional, for it intended purpose. It's so aggressive, however, that it destroys user experience and makes utilizing Cloudflare sites near unbearable.
It does get past Cloudflare captchas, which are impassable on some sites due to an infinite loop. However, on any page featuring dynamic elements, multiple frames, or anything else beyond your basic HTML setup it flips out. It constantly reloads the pages for each element (resulting in a jarring, headache-inducing white flash between reloads), using a ticket every time too. It's rare to see this happen less than 3 times on any page to even start, really.
Discus is a prominent example of an element where this will happen. Clicking "show comments" will cause the page to reload another several times, then scrolling down will cause it to constantly reload/reset. Pages with video streaming freakout and oftentimes don't work as a result. You'll see that on the initial load the video player is present, but after several white flashes it'll be gone.
It's become my practice to only enable this for a single purpose; when encountering a page with an impassable catpcha, I enable this add-on, validate it using another Cloudflare site, get to the page I initially wanted/needed to visit, and immediately disable it again.
It'd be much more convenient if Cloudflare offered some means of whitelisting for users. I'm only in this mess because I got stuck with a new router and IP following a technician visit. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13656172, 7 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13647802, 7 years agoThis is not a "privacy" pass but "Cloudflare Pass".
Just say "NO" to cloudflare website owners.
You should not input your personal information to cloudflared websites.
You should not trust padlock HTTPS icon because cloudflare website is totally insecure.
Just read this ticket to understand how Cloudflare works and why this add-on is bad.
