I browse the net on VPN 99.9999% of the time and generally use firefox with privacy addons. So Recaptcha is an absolute cunt to people like me.
I just got done being prompted 15 times in a row before saying fuck this shit. Normally, I use ddg or searchx for searches but it seems like some sites just like to troll me by using this shite for DDOS protection, registration, etc.
Really wish more sites would use competing captcha vendors like hcaptcha, friendly captcha, pretty much any other alternative, or even rolling their own.
TL;DR - why do people still use shitty google captcha?

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:
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.
