Time to find a way around companies that force-feed us their SMIRC.
Let’s see now. We are not permitted to get angry over this and other perverted means of keeping tabs on us. We are not permitted to protect ourselves from the demons of the web, and it’s becoming too common that we must allow them and their AI to do with us as they please.
But too many do allow it. It’s a lost cause. Freedom is becoming a rare option on the 'net thanks to companies that scoffed at the the idea of a Internet way back when.
Back to landline phone and BBS’s. 
No one pays attention them any more.
Cloudflare - another enemy of freedom.
Just my opinion’s is all,

I use Ungoogled Chromium (GitHub - ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium: Google Chromium, sans integration with Google) for work and this started happening to me this week.
There is an open issue with the devs at the moment (Infinite Cloudflare verification loop · Issue #3226 · ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium · GitHub) so for now I’m swapping to a different browser to login; glad to see there’s some heightened visibility around this elsewhere/that it’s not just this browser experiencing it.
*Note that I could use Firefox full time but need to be more closely aligned with what the rest of the team/clients use and that’s Chrome most of the time

I thought Google was phasing out User-Agent completely? (While I don’t often agree with anything that Google does, this is a good idea, for a variety of reasons.)
My web browser could look dodgy (FF with resist-fingerprinting) but I have not noticed the symptoms mentioned. I tested community.cloudflare.com and science.org and both loaded OK.
I guess I’m not weirdo enough. Must try harder.

Been a thing with my bank for several years. Not new to me.
