Cloudflare Turnstile requiring fingerprintable WebGL | Hacker News

Hacker News debated whether Cloudflare Turnstile relies on WebGL and other browser fingerprinting signals to detect bots.

Some commenters said the problem is broader than WebGL, while others noted Cloudflare’s challenges can still trigger even with privacy protections enabled.

Privacy-focused browsers such as Cromite were cited as examples of users getting blocked or challenged by anti-bot systems.

The thread also questioned the privacy impact of these checks and called for smarter, less invasive fingerprint-resistance methods.
