Latest Update. This seems to be an issue specifically on macOS installed with OpenCore patcher. And something to do with Metal detection.

FTR I recently ran into this when trying to log into Cloudflare itself.

I eventually worked out it was the Disable HTML5 Autoplay extension in Ffx.

I'm offering this more as a clue than a solution (bc I see you've plowed thru your ext's).

Interestingly on Firefox I tried changing the User Agent from version 138 ( Latest Firefox ) to 135. And it doesn't work.

I think it uses some sort of features detection to identify if you are really using that browser.

I think these challenges depend on IP too, so one possibility is that you share IP range with some especially nasty bot, so try VPN/Tor also.

It works on Firefox and Chrome so I dont think it is IP specific. But just in case I used a VPN and still dont work.

What if you change the user agent in Safari via the Debug menu? Same?

Yes tried that already. Changed it to Firefox ( Because it worked on Firefox ) and still the same.

But this actually reminded me to try it on Orion using the same webkit engine. Turns out the same issue and blocked as well.
