Google's reCAPTCHA vs Pale Moon

Perhaps I am lucky, but ReCaptcha has been always working fine for me (provided I tinker with eMatrix).

Just have to add exceptions for frames,scripts and XHR from google.com and gstatic.net for the site in question. eMatrix is easy to configure that way - just see what was blocked on the page, unblock and refresh. If the problem is fixed make the change permanent.

Yes, they do exist and are called captcha farms.

Don't forget the "work from home" moms who make a few extra bucks solving captchas and then copy-pasting some SEO crap on fora.

Sadly, got the "Pale Moon 27.x.x-treatment". After selecting pictures, got the dreaded "Please try again" message! I guess I possibly need to tweak eMatrix.

Tycho is old and insecure, why do you want to have your computer hacked?

The "please try again" thing, and this is an educated guess, is very likely an intentional feature to stall people to lower the amount of posts per minute. I always had it happen often.

I get "the Tycho treatment" from ReCAPTCHA with Pale Moon 28.11.0 x64

Of the few hCaptcha-using website I visit, I'm able to workaround the captcha (it doesn't even load at all) by slamming myself through the blockade with opening the link in dozens of new tabs.

ReCAPTCHA could be worked around by using the blind-feature and write up what's being said in a small audio sample. It works clunky, but I feel I save 10 seconds of my life with it in comparison of using the normal captcha. The reCAPTCHA devs are eligible to be the most hated developers on earth.

Or click on a specific section on the ad image.

Btw, I think https://www.geetest.com/en is also a good alternative. They generally ask people to rotate or move an object in place using their mouse. I've seen it used on some of the websites I visit infrequently like hotel/ticket booking.

I hope for them that they've coded their captcha better than the volume normalization of their video.

Off-topic:
Edit: Now I think about it:
Isn't there a way to take Google & Cloudflare to EU anti-trust court for hindering Pale Moon (and likely Basilisk) users? I mean, Chromium IS the dominant browser engine nowadays. And the primary stakeholder of Chromium is....Google. Such a lawsuit [urlhttps://europa.eu/youreurope/business/selling-in-eu/competition-between-businesses/competition-rules-eu/index_en.htm#shortcut-2]seems[/url] do-able.

Good luck with that

Law doesn't work, money does. There are a lot of crimes happening in the plain sight.

Like a certain company buying the rights to an old show, but not planning to release it ever.

That's not true as a blanket statement. What would be more accurate, I think, is to say that money and corruption has an undue influence over many human laws, and that it can be difficult (if not impossible in some cases) to get past that in a particular court case.

I keep seeing lots of captchas recently (like a month maybe?) even on sites that didn't ever display a single one before

Bot protection. From bots. That is.

[Moonchild]

Bot protection.. By bots. With bias towards Chrome.
That's all there is to it.
Seriously, if anything this kind of practice should be part of those anti-competitive Google probes.

I would love just as much as the next guy (with brains) for large corporations to be broken down, but I am not holding my breath.
