When I try to log into AWS console and have to solve their captcha I always think that the target audience that this is designed to avoid can easily automate it (Some open source models can solve this without all that "AI safety" gatekeeping) while the majority of audience are simply suffering from this "feature".

As in the original, you can use alt + left/right arrow keys to strafe.

Good memory. But very platform dependant, so maybe OP is on a browser or OS that doesn't let you do that. I know it works on Chrome for me, but not on FF.

Probably because firefox has alt+(left|right)arrow as global navigation bindings, and is capturing them before the captcha can get them. requesting a fullscreen gaming mode avoids more key binding issues, but probably ruins the "captcha" feel.

> a lot is already know

I meant "a lot of us already know"

without idkfa and iddqd I cannot pass. Its the strive left/right thats missing for me (not sure if that was in the original version actually), but it really throws me off that I need to use arrows and not asdw.
