I had set up disabled fingerprinting, disabled fingerprinting via WebGL, website containers, a whole bunch of other stuff I cannot remember the name of in the Firefox preference list (you'll see why) in an effort to maximise browsing privacy and the result was I spent probably 30 minutes a day filling in reCaptchas; probably 2 or 3 panels per form -- and the ultra annoying slowly-fade-out kind.
hCaptcha was a lot less annoying for websites that used it but the end result was still a grotesque addition of friction to my browsing experience. I ended up resetting Firefox back to the defaults to un-set all those options I made a list of.
That's not a comment on Firefox of course; the sad state of the web currently is that in order to prove we're not a bot we seemingly have to give up our privacy (via relentless fingerprinting) OR your time (through hugely wasteful reCaptcha, and to a lesser extent hCaptcha fills).
