Google does the same to block scrapping of search results.
- stjohnswarts 4y agoDon't they only do that if you've clicked the box for it though? I don't blame this on cloudflare any more than I would blame them for allowing open text ftp connections. This is on the websites who are the end point.
- easrng 4y agoSomewhat ironically Google doesn't use recaptcha on the Google Account signup page, it's some other internal captcha (the warped-text kinda).
