- darkpuma 8y agoThey also punish you for blocking cookies, using first party isolation, fingerprinting resistance, etc. ReCaptcha v2 operates much like ReCaptcha v3 (which does away with the question/answer interrogation entirely) without telling users it works that way. v2 will frequently reject correct answers just to punish users who aren't sucking up to the Google surveillance system.
- Aeolun 8y agoIs this related to the Google account? Because since switching to firefox and everything not-google I have been constantly harrassed by recaptcha everywhere.
- Semaphor 8y agoI think it's mostly the google account (and not blocking access to its cookies), but (as an FF user) I feel that just being on FF instead of Chrome is also a strike against you.
- darkpuma 8y ago> Is this related to the Google account? It seems so. That's not the only factor but it seems to be strong one.
- clairity 8y agoneat, now we have a test for our anti-google privacy efforts. multiple captcha, good for you! no captcha, not so good... (in most cases, i just close the tab if i get a captcha challenge-i’m sick and tired of the tracking)
