alt Hacker NewsI got locked out of some websites by Cloudflare Turnstile on some very standard configurations, like an iPhone on Safari, or a Windows 11 desktop with Firefox or Edge, neither with a VPN on. I never found out why.

it's probably because a scraper farm updated their services to latest, and there was a window where fingerprinting was unable to differentiate.
We had all of our Devs Pixels get blocked, and after talking to CF, it was because Internet archive was rebooted their scraping farm, all the devices stampeded and overwhelmed the known bot safeguards, and those tags were added across the board. CF gives sites the tools to tune what is getting blocked, we bumped the sensitivity down to 25 and haven't had many complaints (despite having a very vocal community)
The most common complaint is users' IP address getting blocked because of compromised devices
