reCAPTCHA actually works for me. The one that asks if it's a sidewalk or a motorcycle or whatever right?
cloudflare bot detection has convinced itself I am a bot however (I do a lot of automated web related stuff on my home IP) and that's been an eye opener for sure... I can't enjoy a good 20% of the internet it seems like now.
Doesn't matter how many times I click that cloudflare button, they don't believe me.
And I've been signed in to my cloudflare account (which I've held in good standing with a live credit card for years) the entire time :/
- sourweasel 1mo agoSame experience for me. I get endless Cloudflare loops for many sites due to using less common browsers. Given that the goal is is distinguishing bots from actual humans, it seems to be a rather high failure rate. At least I think I'm human... One method that does seem to help is being sloppy when clicking the "I am a human" checkbox. I suspected that bots were more likely to perfectly click the center of the checkbox every time and decided to try clicking the padding around the checkbox instead (which still registers as a click). It seems to be more successful, but it could be my imagination.
