reCAPTCHA is a Google thing so it gets blocked in my browser already anyway (by uMatrix). If I need to load it to see a website, I close the tab immediately and go somewhere else.
- MagicPropmaker 8y agoYou need reCAPTCHA to log into HN (or at least I do when I'm working from some parts of the middle east)
- meruru 8y agoI log into HN almost everyday, each time from a different location (Tor) and I've never seen a reCAPTCHA on HN.
- mbrumlow 8y agoSounds like you might have been going through some sort of proxy...
- beatgammit 8y agoI use a mobile app and have gotten errors saying I need to solve a captcha. Since I can't do that on this app, it just means I'll stop commenting for a couple days until HN decides to stop bothering me. That's happened twice, and it really hasn't been a big deal. I've never actually done a captcha for HN, it's just not worth it to me.
- commoner 8y agoWhich HN app are you using? Materialistic (Android) and Hackers (iOS) have worked for me with no CAPTCHA issues, even with a VPN. https://github.com/hidroh/materialistic https://github.com/hidroh/materialistic https://github.com/weiran/Hackers https://github.com/weiran/Hackers
