OK, so Google CAPTCHAs using Tor can be almost impossible.
But using nested VPN chains, in a VM with a basic Firefox install with NoScript and an ad-blocker, I see hardly any CAPTCHAs. Sure, everything that I do is tracked and correlated. But it's just linked to a VPN exit IP, and a made-up persona. I actually go out of my way to link everything in this VM to Mirimir.
- akyu 8y agoJust to clarify, I wasn't talking about using TOR in my post. I found a certain configuration of Firefox config settings and Add-ons which will fail every CAPTCHA on any site. This is without a VPN, from my home IP address, which I found bizarre as that should be more than enough to identify me uniquely. And your solution is good. But its kind of ridiculous that we have to jump through hoops like that to stay private.
- mirimir 8y ago> I found a certain configuration of Firefox config settings and Add-ons which will fail every CAPTCHA on any site. Could you share more specifics, please? Reading your comment, that really didn't sink in for me. And I wonder what you're blocking that Tor browser doesn't. And/or how Tor browser reduces CAPTCHA incidence. It is ridiculous. But for me it's been a hobby. For over 20 years now ;)
- Tsubasachan 8y agoUse Canvasblocker and enable all the settings. The internet punishes anonymous browsing. Every site out there wants to track you. Across websites! Just imagine ordering a Big Mac at the McDrive. Suddenly a McDonald's employee walks out and puts a GPS tracker under your car. How would you respond?
- mirimir 8y agoMaybe try Canvas Defender instead. It serves a random canvas, and maybe that doesn't trigger so much. Within a few years, I wouldn't be too surprised if they'll be printing GPS trackers on packaging ;)
