Quite often with the Bitcoin wiki, Bitcoin-24 and other Bitcoin site, when I access them through TorBrowser, I get the annoying CAPTCHA gateway in the screenshot below.

http://i33.tinypic.com/30arse8.png

The problem is that clicking the damn "REQUEST ACCESS" button doesn't do anything. TorBrowser comes with Firefox 17.0.5 which is like ages behind 19.0.2, but I doubt a newer version would support Cloudflare's shit code, which closes a </div> without opening one (see line 2 in the code dump below).

Is anyone close enough to Cloudflare to get them to fix this?

HTML code dump from from https://anti-virus.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/anti-virus-challenge?h=626974636f696e2d32342e636f6d2c626974636f696e2d32342e636f6d2c3330313832322c31343535363538&x=9c81097ead107ec589ce86fa32069adf :

Code:
<noscript>
                        </div>
                        <div class="grid_5 alpha omega">
                            <iframe src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/noscript?k=6LeT6gcAAAAAAAZ_yDmTMqPH57dJQZdQcu6VFqog" height="300" width="100%" frameborder="0"></iframe><br>
                            <p>Once you have received a response code from the form above, enter it here to complete the form.</p>
                            <label for="recaptcha_challenge_field">Response code field</label>
                            <textarea name="recaptcha_challenge_field" rows="3" cols="40"></textarea>
                            <input type="hidden" name="recaptcha_response_field" value="manual_challenge">
                            <input type="submit" value="Submit response code"></input>
                        </div>
                    </noscript>

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Cloudflare simply sucks, for poor website operators. It is like a fastfood in world of DDoS Protection.

It's not that bad, if you can protect mail servers etc it'll work well.

I don't like the idea of allowing a 3rd party to man-in-the-middle on a bitcoin website. That is a lot of trust.
