I hate the v3 reCAPTCHA. On FF, I usually KNOW I am answering correctly and it says I failed. I always have to go through it multiple times. It's maddening. It often leaves me second guessing myself... is that sliver of car counted? is a crossing signal a street light? What about those streetlights way off in the distance, do I select those two in addition to the ones front and center? That RV looks sort of like a bus, should I select that too?

- gok 7y agoIt's not really about getting the questions right. The challenges they present aren't that hard for modern computer vision systems. It's more about verifying that you consider the question for a "human" amount of time, make your mouse move like a human might, etc.

- stirfrykitty 7y agoCaptchas are hell on the blind and vision impaired. There are add-ons for this, but they mostly suck. Things like Webvisum exist but they are invite only.
- symlinkk 7y agoYou're describing v2, not v3.
- Asooka 7y agoYou're thinking too hard, reCAPTCHA is made for regular users who won't sit there thinking if they're right or not. I always make sure to select a few wrong squares out of principle and after 6 or 7 attempts I'm usually allowed into whatever site I was visiting. Nobody knows the exact algorithm, so trying to please it, or worse - agonising that you answered wrong - is completely foolish. Just click a few squares that seem right and roll the dice. Beating yourself over not solving reCAPTCHA correctly makes the terrorists win.
- makomk 7y agoApparently one of the Twitch streamers I sometimes watch had it do that to her just the other day whilst testing out her own site's reCAPTCHA-protected form: https://clips.twitch.tv/BitterTentativeRamenChefFrank https://clips.twitch.tv/BitterTentativeRamenChefFrank
- hedora 7y agoI intentionally get a few wrong (to subvert their harvesting of manually labeled training data). It still either lets me through, or doesn’t even manage to display images for me to click on because it doesn’t like my browser settings. (The latter is more common than the former these days...) I wonder how much legitimate traffic bounces because of reCaptcha. Can sites even measure this?
