Although I like services like hCaptcha a lot more myself, it may be possible that this notably bothers users and decreases conversion rates.

- feanaro 6y agoThat's interesting. Without disclosing my location, let's just say I'm in a much less powerful (and hence, I would imagine, less reputable) country than Germany. I doubt it is in the "good" set, but who knows. I also doubt I'm not blocking it well enough. I'm running Firefox with CanvasBlocker, uBlock Origin (with strict rulesets) and uMatrix. I also turn on restrictFingerprinting.
