While less common, certain browser extensions that interfere with network traffic or SSL inspection (like some VPNs or privacy extensions) can sometimes cause handshake failures. Similarly, outdated browser versions might not support modern TLS protocols that Cloudflare uses. Clearing your browser's cache and cookies, or trying a different browser or incognito mode, can help rule out client-side issues.
