With my pretty aggressively tuned privacy settings in Firefox I'm getting captchaed CONSTANTLY, and everybody is apparently using cloudflare. Here's hoping hCaptcha is less aggressive..
- zenexer 7y agoThat’s almost certainly unrelated to your Firefox settings. The rate at which you get captcha’d is mostly based on the level of suspicious activity from your IP address and nearby IP addresses—though if you mess with headers too much, that can also do it. I’m decked out for privacy in Firefox, and I never get captcha’d. You may have a malicious extension or other malware on your network that’s doing something nefarious.
- ectospheno 7y agoYou missed a few about:config settings then as it is trivial to land in cloudflare captcha hell with firefox.
- mikkelam 7y agoThat's entirely false. It is primarily related to how easy it is for google to determine whether you're a real human. If they have to keep reidentifying you as human (due to for example fingerprint resisting or tracker blocking).. surprise you get captcha'ed
