Fixing infinte captca on archive.today (Firefox browswer)

For some reason DNS over HTTPS breaks the site. You can add exceptions for archive.today to fix it:

Settings->Privacy & Security->(scroll to DNS over HTTPS)->Manage Exceptions...

Add:
--
archive.is
archive.ph
archive.today

Well it wasn't obvious what security reasons there would be for DNS over HTTPS to cause archive.today to shit itself, but I did some digging and found this:

"Archive.is’s owner is intentionally blocking 1.1.1.1 users."

It appears archive.today doesn't like Cloudflare DNS because Cloudflare doesn't allow archive.today to geolocate users. So maybe solving a captcha is a compromise, but then it's just an infinite loop of captcha. That's shit.
