Cloudflare bot widget not auto-checking as of yesterday - issue?
I am an end user (i.e., a regular user of various web sties) and some of the sites I visit regularly use the Cloudflare anti-bot mechanism (where it either displays a widget that has a checkbox (which always auto-checks for me, saying "Success!"), or it shows a 'please wait while verified', and then auto-redirects me to the actual site once verified.
As of yesterday (April 29), all the sties that use Cloudflare protection are now not auto-checking the box and have added, for a legitimate user like myself, extra steps to have to check boxes whereas previously it would auto-check each and every time. I have tried every single flavor of browser, from MS Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and even Safari, and they are all behaving the same now (requiring a manual checking of the box each and every time)
I wanted to report this and see if Cloudflare was aware of this, and what can be done to resolve this issue? Any guidance or assistance here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
