The only thing it seems that CAPTCHAs are good for these days is to discriminate against VPN users. There are several sites (including govt) that put me in an endless CAPTCHA loop.

I fortunately never had a problem using Mullvad VPN, only when using Tor.

  On Mulvad as well and I have run into quite a few unusable sites.

    I do not really have this experience and I wonder why, even when I use the Mullvad browser I do not have any problems. Can you give me an example of a site that is not usable?

  could it be you're leaking identifiable bits through the browser?

    Are you talking about canvas fingerprinting and stuff like that?

  I can’t use ChatGPT with mullvad

    I can’t use ChatGPT, period. Their shit’s completely falling apart. The iOS app has managed to degrade from one of the smoothest apps I’ve used to a literally unusable steaming pile of crap in a matter of weeks. Honest question, are they replacing their devs with an LLM?

      I completely forgot there was an ios and android app, I've always used the browser to use it and to be fair the browser is always open so it's convenient.

  I get dinged all the time on Mullvad. I still love it tho

    me too but honestly there seem to be fewer (at least cloudflare) ones past few months. Not sure why, could just have gotten less annoyed with them and accepted it. Hard to say I guess, humans are so context oriented.

  I can't use several sites with Mullvad combined with FF and a couple privacy extensions/settings. Using mullvad also gets your comments auto-shadow-banned on reddit and your posts on craigslist immediately deleted.

"Access data for all websites" I know it probably needs that permission, but no thanks lol
