Yes, and it made half the web unusable. Getting captchaed twice in 60 seconds is an immediate bounce from me.

- chipperyman573 6y agoIf I understood their blog posts correctly, the captcha rate should be the same - it's shown to you when Cloudflare detects that you need one, not when reCaptcha/hCaptcha decide. CF just has them show the captcha.
- judge2020 6y agoThe amount of Captcha's you need to solve will likely go up if you previously got them but had a good enough ReCaptcha score to not need to solve their challenges every time. hCaptcha does not yet have something that makes one captcha solve bypass the following few captchas.
- TechBro8615 6y agoWhat? The number of captchas is the same. And in my experience, hcaptcha is a heck of a lot nicer than recaptcha. It also works on Tor. This move from cloudflare will probably save me multiple hours of time per year, that I previously spent waiting for pictures of fire hydrants to load.

- cycloptic 6y agoCan you please open source your frontend code? The net absolutely needs a captcha that has made a promise to not run tracking code, and sticks to that by providing transparency. Google is not doing it and has only increased the amount of tracking code. If you're doing things correctly the obfuscation of the data coming from the backend is what would be critical to keeping bots out, not the actual code administering the turing test on the frontend.

You're the one who is responsible for this web cancer? You purposefully disable access to VPN users and then try to pass off a "privacy pass?"
- mcpeepants 6y agoCloudflare is responsible for deciding you need a captcha...
- saagarjha 6y agoThis is exactly the position Google tried to put themselves in with reCAPTCHAv3, where they simply provide a “score” and websites now make the decision of blocking users themselves, absolving Google of any blame. If your captcha gives scores to real users that would cause everyone to block them, that’s on you.
- jaflo 6y agoI have not seen this at all. In my experience hCaptcha results in the same or equal experience that reCAPTCHA had. Anecdotally my pass rate on hCaptcha is actually higher (reCAPTCHA gets suspicious more quickly and often asks to solve more than one prompt).
