Cloudflare launches program to collaborate with browser developers on security and compatibility.
Cloudflare has launched the Browser Developer Program to collaborate with browser teams, ensuring better compatibility between Cloudflare’s bot detection tools and diverse browsers.
Why it matters: It helps balance security and accessibility by improving how Cloudflare Challenges and Turnstile work across many browser types.
The big picture: The program supports a broad range of browsers, including niche, privacy-focused, embedded, and emerging platforms with unique constraints.
The stakes: Without collaboration, strict security checks may block legitimate users on less common browsers, while loosening standards could increase abuse risks.
Commenters say: Many appreciate Cloudflare’s effort to engage browser developers, noting the importance of inclusivity for diverse browsing environments and improved user experience.
