an experimental feature which is disabled by default
Good luck trying to figure out that is the issue if you don't keep it in mind at all times. (No matter how obvious it seems - hindsight will never not be 20/20.)
Random coincidence... This is the second post this has popped up in today. Another frontpage post mentioned this in regard to getting blocked by Cloudflare. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37049016
Yep! Sorry, didn't mean to imply it wouldn't work at all. I'll edit my post if HN still allows me to.
I'll note that apart from a handful of sites where it causes additional checks and occasional breakage (noted them in another comment below), I'm really happy with that setting. I leave it on by default and only have to break out a fingerprinted Firefox profile on rare occasion.
