Google.com. I too have noticed the Cloudflare annoyance on a wide variety of sites lately (not sure if more sites use Cloudflare or if Cloudfare has begun asking for a captcha in more cases). The only solution would be to ask/get Cloudflare to stop doing this so we will probably just have to live with it. Perhaps someone from the Tor project could talk to them - but it could be that they have experienced a lot of abuse and have their reasons (still, you get this captcha when trying to get to the site, it's not something that only shows up if you do a HTTP POST or something like that). I just want to say this to webmasters and website owners: What actually happens is that I click a link, see the Cloudflare "captcha" message, interpret the message as "This site is broken when accessed through Tor, oh well" and CLOSE THE TAB or click "Back". I am not sure this is something most corporations would care about since Tor users tend to block their (javascript-using) advertisements anyway but webmasters, know that I am probably not the only one who will go somewhere else instead of enabling JavaScript from a bunch of places & typing in a silly captcha
