Comment on Does anybody else share my intense and all-consuming hatred for Google Recaptcha?

hCapcha is fucking alwful. Sometimes I can’t get it for 5 minutes straight. I would much prrfer Recapcha or this new capcha alternative made by Cloudflare (even though CF is not a good company) that skips entirely the process of selecting pictures.

Haven’t run into problems with hcaptcha yet myself but I’ll take your word on it

Most of my complaints with Google’s recaptcha fall into:

them being more aggressive to users of Firefox/vpn/privacy addon and requiring a lot more screens of verification than normal

On the multi image tiles, adding long 5+ second delays when you click an image and they replace it

on the single image divided into a grid, they are never clear on border scenarios (eg edge of whatever in another tile) and in many cases choose pictures where the thing being selected occupies a large number of tiles. Combined with the first bullet point, this creates a massive number of clicks to pass verification

But yeah, if there’s something else that bypasses picture selection altogether, I’m totally down for that. I’ve seen some that have you rotate an image and never had issues with those either.
