I use pretty standard extensions... uBlockO, decentral eyes, smart referrer... I just wish that companies would stop using Google's reCAPTCHA service.
Also my IP address rarely changes and I don't think that any malicious traffic is coming from it.
And I have Comcast, so I hope that they didn't blacklist all of us...
(I did talk bad about Google a few times though, maybe that's it)
- saagarjha 7y agoThose aren’t extensions that an average user would install.
- bduerst 7y agoJust Smart Referer alone is a likely culprit. Masking or having no referer is a prime attribute for low-level bots.
- OrgNet 7y agowow... Google is pretty retarded if that is what they mostly rely on...
- OrgNet 7y agooh... so i should not be able to use any websites because of the extensions I use?
- dodobirdlord 7y agoYou should not be able to use any website that the host doesn't want you to use. That seems pretty straightforward. There's a strong correlation between profiles that look like yours and bots. Why should the web admin do free labor for you to put together a sufficiently nuanced bot-detection system to tell the difference, when the one they have is clearly good enough for them?
- KirinDave 7y agoStop using smart referrer. It has no legitimate purposes. Referrer URLs are not the problem. You look like a bot and you going to get locked out of sites. If you're actually concerned about that kind of data leakage, you want NoScript, full stop.
