Chromium fresh build displays "Pardon the Interruption" page on some of websites

[Loveleen Singh]

I successfully installed Chromium on window according to the instructions in official documentation, but when I run chrome.exe after installing it, I encounter a problem on some of websites. Instead of loading the page, I am redirected to a page that says:

"Pardon the Interruption As you were browsing something about your browser made us think you were a bot. There are a few reasons this might happen:

You're a power user moving through this website with super-human speed. You've disabled JavaScript in your web browser A third-party browser plugin, such as No Script is preventing JavaScript from running."

I did not modify anything after the fresh installation, and also these websites work properly on other browsers like Chrome and Mozilla. How can I resolve this issue and make those websites work correctly on my Chromium build?

I guess they might be looking at the generic Chromium user agent string, which does not get used a lot on Windows and also infer from that that you might be a bot, even though they do not list that as a reason.

If you switch the user agent string to indicate Linux, the users of which more commonly use Chromium (I believe, given the various distributions), it might be more well-received.

Another reason could be a bug/feature that is currently in development. Does Chrome canary exhibit the same issue? If not, then I would probably bet on the above.
