The ins and outs of the dreaded Google Recaptcha
Posted: 2019-01-21, 13:25
So I was wondering if there was an answer to this. I use Pale Moon to solve a Recaptcha and I have to solve no less than six puzzles minimum just to submit or login somewhere where a Recaptcha is used to stop a potential bot. Now if I us Firefox or Chrome, I just have to solve one or two tops puzzles and I'm through. All this despite me forging my UA with an add-on that makes it look like I'm using FF, and another add-on that supposedly does the same thing with JS and is a companion to the UAControl add-on I use.
So it's blatantly obvious Google is discriminating against any browser besides Chrome or Firefox. Which leads me to believe seen as how my UA forging has no bearing, is that Google is pulling some other signature from the browser to know if it's a real FF or Chrome browser or not. What could that possibly be? I'd really like to know, because now if I know I need to solve a Recaptcha, I'll just open that page with my plain vanilla FF install. I have grown tired of solving puzzle after puzzle after puzzle. Very frustrating and really pisses me off when FF can solve it in one or two gos and I'm done.
