Human seems able to see face on anything.
WOuldn't be a good idea to use this as a way to make a captcha ?

#202I there any anti reCaptcha or anti Google, that I can donate to? I want to donate a small amount every time Google forces me to solve their problems.
Get a disabled person to take them to court for discrimination.

I was thinking something more along the lines of sponsoring them to take Google to court ;)

#203I never use Firefox, but I'm pretty sure I've seen this same format before in Chrome. No?

#204I've never understood what happened to reCAPTCHA, it was originally so great and is now just so, so toxic. Originally it was an awesome solution based on OCR'ing books that usually worked quickly on the first try, and almost never took more than two. Then it turned into a single checkbox (analyzing mouse movement) so it was even faster... and I remember some simple image-based like "select the images of cats" that we…

On top of that, I think some of the training sets are wrong. Multiple times I've been asked to find traffic signs, but it would only let me pass when including street signs.

#205FYI. 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.
This! I have a Chrome development profile which I primarily use for testing. When I encounter a captcha it's the same painful experience as the OP's FF video. I don't have restrictions around cookies or tracking either. My best guess is that I just don't have as much "usage history" on that profile for Google to just declare me clearly human. Alternatively, on my main profile that I use for normal browsing captcha (which it still sucks) is never as painful.

Originaly it didn't belong to google, it was an aquisition. I remember seeing a ted talk about it. To me it constantly feels like I'm working for google for free for their AI projects which is very annoying comparing to help a smaller company OCR books.
You aren't working for free. You get access to a website and the publisher gets bot protection. It's a 3 way win-win-win transaction.

#207Big rant, there are few things I hate more than filling out their endless useless CAPTCHA's when browsing websites that have nothing to do with Google. Google is a hypocritical pile of burning . They use bots right? They scrape websites, they infest everything from my banking website to console emulators with their tracking, and yet we little people are not allowed to scrape or interface with the web programmatically…
Google respects robots.txt

There's a third problem: quite a bit of the stuff they present is (almost) uniquely American and presents a recognition challenge in other cultural contexts. That yellow vehicle? Looks nothing like a bus in most other parts of the world. And so the rest of the world gets to learn what an American Bus looks like... Not, I think, what was intended.
Or it tells you to pick out pictures of cars and shows you a pickup truck. Now you have to figure out if people would call that a car or not. How about a delivery truck? A motorcycle?
Or it will ask for pictures of crosswalks, and you have to decide if 3 pixels of a crosswalk in the corner of one of the pictures counts.

You have to answer the way most people would answer, not what is the most technically correct.
I guess if your adversary is a dogmatic AI then that might be by design.
Re: Google's Captcha in Firefox vs. in Chrome
#210Would it be possible to build a Firefox plugin that creates and isolates the requisite cookies to allow reputation to be built, but at least partially maintains privacy? I was thinking maybe something that has 10 difference Google sessions, and shards them depending on the website, deciding which to send to the Captcha. You'd build reputation at 1/10th the speed, but you'd still potentially build it. Or, one that all…
I'm fairly sure (but admittedly not certain) that captcha uses non-cookie and non-account based methods for identifying users, so I don't those methods would work.
I suspect it falls back to the other methods, but if there are Google cookies, I'd have thought it starts with them cookies.
