Except v3 has to be on every page of the site and that gives Google a full view of all traffic on the site

So does Google Analytics, so does AdSense. ReCaptcha V3 is probably the least used of the three.

Google doesn't force you to do AdSense an all pages. And Analytics, well, you can also skip on sensitive pages.

> I think you're confusing what you wish was true with what is actually true. And you are cherry-picking poorly sourced anecdotes to better suite your position. A VPS with 100Mbps virtual adapter physically can't withstand DoS from single attacker with fiber connection (or equivalent of it). This does not have much to do with anatomy of DoS attacks, just simple math. Cloudflare subsidizes their free users by giving a…

Huh? "All Cloudflare plans offer unlimited and unmetered mitigation of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, regardless of the size of the attack, at no extra cost." https://www.cloudflare.com/ddos/ Do you know of an example of an attacker "easily demolishing" Cloudflare's free DDoS protection for a website with a few hundred dollars worth of botnet?

I can name dozens of websites, that folded under Cloudflare's supposedly flawless DDoS protection (at the time when they were still using it). Of course, the ones who fold are always websites themselves — Cloudflare itself is never affected, because when the DDoS gets particularly bad, they just detach websites from their CDN and expose it to attackers.

on ~/.config/vimb/config set hardware-aceleration-policy=always set webgl=true

That seems to help, but I still don't see a difference with/without a Chrome UA.

Try a mobile Chrome UA, such as the one for a recent Galaxy Tab.

I’m thinking of two situations: - you tapped the “Siri suggestion” result which completely skips the SERP. I hate that “back” doesn’t bring you back to what I typed in the search/URL bar - I regularly visit The Verge, open a story and then the back button doesn’t take me to the homepage but to the page before it. I blame their crappy JavaScript but maybe we’re experiencing the same thing.

Nope. It's as if that happens, though going past a regular Google search results page, which is dropped (hence along with the search itself) from history.

Nope what? I described that same thing on The Verge.
