I have visited BleepingComputer minutes ago; did not face the security check message; it is quite annoying in Wilders Security.
I used to get this message when visiting NeoWin, but it stopped to appear days ago.

Not Bleeping Computer.
Bleeping Computer Forum.
Maybe it's active for certain geographical areas... I don't know.

I think it is not geographical; I was getting the check then stopped in the same location.Maybe it's active for certain geographical areas... I don't know.
It is more likely related to the dynamic IP range active at the time of use.

I put the link in the first post.
Have you ever seen the movie:
The Last Samurai?
Too much mind... no mind...
I encountered this earlier when my router dropped the IPv6 connection, and I was connecting via IPv4. Once I rebooted the router to fix the IPv6 problem, it didn't come up again. I guess generally IPv6 is more trustworthy because even the prefixes given by the ISPs may not be shared, and the IP itself is device-specific.
Sometimes it is related to adblocker.
When was using Chrome with uBOL, I was getting security check when first visiting Google search.
When started using Vivaldi with its adblocker the day before yesterday, such a check stopped.

When a site adopts Cloudflare's advanced bot protection or Turnstile, that interstitial "security check" isn't just looking at IP reputation. It drops a heavily obfuscated JavaScript payload designed to silently collect a massive amount of telemetry to verify if the client is a genuine human operating a standard browser.
To Cloudflare's machine learning models, an "average" setup, standard Chrome or Edge with a basic ad blocker like uBlock Origin running default lists, looks normal. When that user hits the site, Cloudflare's invisible JavaScript challenges run in the background, the browser provides the expected telemetry, and the system easily verifies it's dealing with a standard human environment. Cloudflare then drops a clearance token (the cf_clearance cookie) in the browser. For the next week or month, depending on the forum's settings, that user isn't challenged again because that token proves they already passed the gauntlet.
By trying to be completely invisible, heavily hardened browsers end up waving a massive red flag. The system doesn't know who they are, but it knows they are actively hiding their environment, which forces Cloudflare to treat them as a high-risk bot and throw them into a perpetual challenge loop.

Nothing for me using Brave with MBG.

The difference between BleepingComputer, Wilders, and NeoWin comes down to each site's individual Cloudflare Zone settings. NeoWin issued your browser a clearance cookie, so you are bypassing the check automatically now. Wilders likely has a stricter security threshold or shorter cookie lifespan.

Cloudflare is active on this forum link, not their main site.
But for the last week or so, I'm having issues with sites that have adopted this. Sometimes clicking on such sites (from the bookmark bar) doesn't load for me on the first try; I have to click again to make it load. Otherwise, the browser keeps loading. Don't know whose side the issue is on. MS Edge/adblocker/some other extension/DNS/ISP/Cloudflare itself, or what?

Yep, Brave Shields + Cloudflare WARP produced a security verification page for me.No, this is the link:

Exact same set up I have, with the same result.
Must be Cloudflare as Brave shields doesn't produce it for me.
or uBO; internal adblockers (Brave & Vivaldi) do not provoke.
The verification page is a third-party frame which, in the absence of an exception rule, is blocked in my case by my uBoL in Enhanced Easy mode.
This is almost certainly the fate of “less advanced” bots:
From my point of view, the fact that a verification page is not always obtained (when closing/reopening the browser) is NOT very positive.
P.S.
But for those who love comfort, it's very comfortable.

Cloudflare's approach is much better than Google's. It's more convenient. By the way, I also get the verification page on nine browsers.
