How does that work
They combine your browser fingerprint (what extensions you have installed, version, etc), your IP address, and how you move your mouse, how fast you click, etc. It’s surprisingly accurate.
But isn’t that like 99% browser fingerprint and also case with just about anything you do online, not just captchas?
Browser fingerprint (mostly) identifies the device. The captcha is to narrow that down even further to the person.
