Thanks, I haven't tried either the browser cache or captcha proxy so far, since up til now I've been running fff on a headless server (but NOT for very heavy downloading). I've since tried on 3 residential networks and a mobile network and gotten v2 challenge every time. I guess I can try the browser cache or proxy approach though having to manually load dozens or 100+ chapters of a long fic sounds like a nuisance, and someone upthread says cloudflare can now tell if selenium is running the browser. I might try my hand at writing a firefox extension to get the chapters sometime. But I feel like it is more promising in the long run to keep looking for ways to bypass ffnet entirely.

Unrelated issue: I ran "pip install fanficfare" and it installed the fff python code (written in python 3) but tries to run it under python2, which fails badly. I had to uninstall and reinstall with pip3. Probably best to disable the python2 installation somehow.

(Does anyone know how many posts I need before I stop getting the recaptcha on every post, if it ever stops)?
