I thought they had as well, which was why I was surprised to see them.

I can't remember the site I saw them on, so I don't know for certain, but the site was definitely protected by Cloudflare, and I'm not really sure what you mean by "fake" - they were definitely CAPTCHAs with image tiles, but I guess I don't know for certain they were coming from Cloudflare servers.



How did you know they were Cloudflare and not some other service? Was there a "cloudflare" word or their logo?

HCaptcha is still a thing, it has "find all dogs": https://developers.nopecha.com/recognition/hcaptcha/

I get flagged by Google's reCaptcha all the time, it's super annoying: https://developers.nopecha.com/recognition/recaptcha/

Archive.is made their own check page (probably based on HCaptcha), which uses same color scheme as cloudflare and same general design.. except if you look closely, you'll notice there is no word "cloudflare" anywhere on page, it's a homegrown solution: https://www.reddit.com/r/SaintMeghanMarkle/comments/18c3ea7/...

For some weird reason, people like to attribute every captcha to cloudflare, even if they no longer offer this service...
