2024 - Browser Surge protection

Warning: You triggered the wiki's surge protection by doing too many requests in a short time. Please make a short break reading the stuff you already got. When you restart doing requests AFTER that, slow down or you might get locked out for a longer time!

Fix: ?? Chrome triggers surge protection but not Firefox
