Cloudflare verification not working
https://privacypass.github.io/ should help with Cloudflare verification. Works on Chrome and FireFox.

Blocked by Cloudflare
Cloudflare's Privacy Pass may help here: https://privacypass.github.io/
It should significantly reduce the amount of CAPTCHAs you see in a way that's not terrible for privacy.
For Safari, you can enable Private Access Tokens: https://blog.cloudflare.com/how-to-enable-private-access-tok...
Both of these mechanisms are similar to Google's web DRM proposal in that they rely on external issuers to generate tokens, but unlike Google's attempt they don't guarantee that ad blockers are disabled on pages that try to use tokens.

Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed
The author is referring to this standard: https://privacypass.github.io/
Apple uses it for its iCloud Private Relay service. The blind token is used so that Cloudflare can verify that a given device pays for iCloud Private Relay without revealing their identity.
Attestation is when such a blind token is proving the integrity of the software running on the device, not proving arbitrary properties. Privacy Pass could actually enable a fast, semi-decentralized system of anonymizing proxies.
If Apple exposed the “is System Integrity Protection enabled” bit to the web, then that amounts to attestation to me, and yes: Apple can do it whenever it wants, and people want Apple to do it.

Cloudflare traps me in a captcha loop if I'm running any sort of fingerprint protection?.(Firefox)
That's weird, I haven't used it recently but will take a look. Looks like you're not the only one having issues though: https://github.com/privacypass/challenge-bypass-extension/issues/389

Is it possible to solve CAPTCHAs at the network level akin to the way Pi-hole filters ads at the network level?
This wouldn't be at the network level, but there is this amazing extension at the browser level: https://privacypass.github.io/

Pirating on Mac extremely slow
hey there, after doing some research it seems like the conclusion is your vpn. Nord VPN has a lack of port forwarding, while other vpns have port forwarding (proton, mullvad). that is most likely interrupting your speed. also, apparently nord does keep some sort of logs if your interested in that. i would recommend cancelling nord and getting something else like proton or mullvad (i would recommend proton more) if you really want to download movies/shows. another option for you (if you dont want to switch) is to find your movie on websites that don't require a vpn (aka not torrenting) but you can if you want to. you can use this for that, they have tons of movies and shows. or just use a streaming site off of the megathread.

Why does the Mullvad installer need 500mb and access to my downloads folder?
The 500 MiB thing is because the frontend is an Electron app. That's sadly how it is with Electron. The UI can of course be re-written into a language/framework that produces way smaller programs, but it's not currently really worth the tradeoff. Most people are not that constrained in disk or internet speeds. https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/issues/1572
The downloads folder access thing is because Apple made it so. If you run an installer from the downloads folder it will need access to the downloads folder. This has nothing to do with Mullvad, but is a permission check macOS puts on all software. The Mullvad VPN app has no code for doing anything in the Downloads folder specifically.

Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month
Requiring an account for search is a deal breaker. They say they need it for payment, but mullvad[0] does just fine without an account as well.

Why is there still no official support for openSUSE?
I don't understand why the .rpm package of Mullvad VPN still only officially supports Fedora. This issue on GitHub has been open for almost three years now and there is even someone else trying to help you making the necessary changes to support openSUSE in this PR. I kinda agree with cornfeedhobo's sentiment that the necessary changes to make it work on openSUSE are being gated. I'm a paying user for quite some years already and made the switch to openSUSE and I'd really like to continue using Mullvad VPN there without having to force install the .rpm package and thus living with a lot of uncertainty about how well it will run.
- Is there any reason why there isnt a "Connect to fastest server" option?

mullvad marked as malicious by virustotal?? I mary's says it's a trojan
It's just a false-positive. If you're still wary, feel free to review the source code of the app and you can even build it yourself: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/
