That's correct. ReCAPTCHA v2 is the one where if your opaque, invisible ML humanity score is below a threshold it makes you squint at weird little photo squares and try to figure out whether the part of a bumper at one edge is enough to count as a car. ReCAPTCHA v3 is the one where if your opaque, invisible ML humanity score is below a threshold the website just breaks in unpredictable ways until you either give up or (for highly technical users) notice that ReCAPTCHA is at fault and interact with enough Google services to raise your score before trying again.

It takes seconds to solve and is trivial 90% of the time :)
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoWon't work if Google doesn't trust you enough. Which is, by the way, also a major problem.
- tadzik_ 7y agoI delete all cookies outside of a few whitelisted domains every time I close a tab, which is why reCaptcha is so annoying to me in the first place. Still, at least for me, the audio fallback is always there and much less annoying.
- greglindahl 7y agoHow does that help when Google has decided you’re a bot and you fail no matter how many challenges you solve?
- tadzik_ 7y agoNever happened to me. I've been getting "point out the hydrants" over 5 times in a row sometimes because of the amount of anti-tracking I have set up, but the audio option was always there letting me on the first try.
- greglindahl 7y agoSo, you’re saying that everyone should be happy because you’re ok?
- tadzik_ 7y agoNo – I'm saying that I don't have an answer for you if I never encountered what you're describing.
- IceWreck 7y agoNo. It gave me like 17 attempts before it realized that I wasn't a bot.
- skymt 7y agoReCAPTCHA v3, the version I was referring to in what you quoted, doesn't have an audio CAPTCHA or any kind of fallback option at all, which is part of what makes it so much worse than v2. (The other part is the privacy implications of adding thorough behavioral tracking to every part of a website.)
- tadzik_ 7y agoCurious. Do you have any example of a site using it? I noticed that reCaptcha has become much, much worse recently and I assumed that this must be this v3, but I've never encountered one that would actually have no fallback and prevent me from using the site.
- kuroguro 7y agoAdidas uses it on yeezy releases when you stand in queue on each page refresh. Can't think of a "normal" website using it.
- My1 7y agoV3 actually doesn't have ANY interaction in the first place. It just scores you and the dev can punish if needed https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/v3 https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/v3
- idop 7y agoTried it a few times, it just told me something to the tune of "this option is not available", with no button to return to the picture-solving option.
