Problem Description

When the scraper gets a Performance & security by Cloudflare in the text its their captcha, or verifying connection splash screen.

Desired Solution you'd like

So it's 2025 and after 30 years of scraping the web all these bots hoovering up all the pages we can get have forced site owners to get more aggressive blocking "nonhuman" connections. Since I do not see them getting any better at respecting website owners it might be better to find a way to filter out content that comes back from those responses.

Alternatives Considered

In cases that a search engine has been used they can return what they consider a relevant snippet. Maybe as a case of last resort put that into the RAG?

Additional Context

I use the websearch API from my browser to do searches. Slowly it has been getting fewer and fewer good results. I can only assume because my IP is cheesing off Cloudflare or something.

@tjbck commented on GitHub (Jun 16, 2025):

Would like to add this in but unsure if hardcoding Performance & security by Cloudflare to the codebase would be reliable, any thoughts?
