Challenge rejected.

If you want challenge, just simply try to find a search engine that filters out shitty websites (e.g. Cloudflare sites, CAPTCHA-pushing sites, giant cookie popups, countless dark patterns).

We are already failing to meet the challenge. We don’t need more challenges.

The weapons you mention are quite basic. Those don’t even begin to scratch the surface unless you’re using the internet the way most normies do.
