The fire hydrant example... I deal with this every day. It takes soooo looooong to load, it's really ridiculous.

I face that example everyday too. I'm really curious this does not appear in Chrome.

It does. I've run into it plenty of times with chrome.

The Google captcha enrages me. Why should I train their stupid AI?

What's funny is that the AI needs to be trained...yet it already knows which choices are correct and incorrect. So, is it really necessary? Edit: This is a joke, I am joking.

I don't know how the image captchas work but the old-fashioned type-the-words captchas asked you one it knew the answer to and one it didn't. By giving unknown words to multiple users and finding a consensus they could move words from the unknown to known set.

now that's weird. firefox is my main browser (developer edition on linux, windows and macos) and i never get captchas. maybe it's because i don't use umatrix (i only use ublock origin)? maybe because i'm always logged-in in at least one google account?

It's easy to configure umatrix to let Recaptcha through.

there are updates coming that will make it much more tied to your google account. i fear that it will mean anybody not currently logged in is assumed to be a robot. (even more so than now, i mean.)

ReCAPTCHAv3. It will differ from ReCAPTCHAv2 in one important respect: it will no longer ask you any questions, meaning it will no longer give you the opportunity to appeal it's snap judgement of you.

FYI. Title is misleading. This experience has nothing to do Firefox vs Chrome. Result is because of 3rd party cookie and tracker blocking. I had same and even worse (I was not able to get through captcha) experience on chrome itself because I have 3rd party cookies disabled and couple privacy oriented extensions running.

While relatable, this is just a low effort post more suited for Twitter or Reddit.

For a fair comparison OP would need to use clean browser profiles on fresh IPs. Like this it is just fan-service for Google Captcha victims (like me).

The slow animation is the worst. You really want to punch someone responsible in the face. And I never figure out how to solve the traffic light riddle.

You're not supposed to figure out the traffic light riddle, you're not a human if you do.

The user is complaining about the slow CSS animations. It's definitely a bug though not something they did on purpose. I remember having the same issue on Chrome as well.
