My biggest pain as a Tor user is having to fill out 10 captchas a day to do anything. Hcaptcha and recaptcha those that ship them make me furious in general for punishing people for privacy.
- anaganisk 5y agoTo be fair they flag TOR because of the IPs and all other bot traffic that goes thru TOR that harass website owners with spam and DDOS.
- eatbots 5y agoVast majority of traffic from Tor IPs is abuse, which makes it challenging to deliver a good experience for the handful of normal users mixed in there. You might be interested in one approach we've been working on for this: https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy-pass https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy-pass (full disclosure: work on hCaptcha)

- gradschool 5y agoI sympathize, but have you considered using cloudflare captchas as an accidental content moderation service by ignoring any site that requires them? If I disable tor as an experiment for any length of time, I find that the average quality of material I read diminishes. Combine tor usage with disabling javascript, and you're well on your way to an information diet from technically adept sources that respect their readers.
