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).
How can you have a fresh IP which isn't in your control?
I was going through the same ordeal as a Firefox user, so I've made Buster to solve challenges and reclaim some of that lost time: https://github.com/dessant/buster If you're a developer, please consider replacing reCAPTCHA on your site with an alternative. reCAPTCHA discriminates against people with disabilities and those who seek privacy, and it gaslights you into thinking you did not solve the challenge correctly,…
I've recently had issues with buster where Google detects it, giving me this error: "Your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now". Is there a solution for this?
Though Google may block your access to the audio challenge regardless of the browser or extensions you use, see more details here: https://github.com/w3c/apa/issues/25
The fire hydrant example... I deal with this every day. It takes soooo looooong to load, it's really ridiculous.
I'd be cool with it if it didn't fade out the selection and load new images. Fine, you want to do that, Google? I think some of these other images are hydrants, too!
- is generally easier to solve (download the sound clip using curl or wget, type in the nonsense it says, done)
- does not turn me into a mechanical Turk training Google's AI
- works in 'any browser' by circumventing the browser (by using wget/curl), thereby not allowing Google to punish me for not using their dragnet/browser.
The Google captcha enrages me. Why should I train their stupid AI?
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.)
Also, they're doing away with the questionnaire. It works by using a scoring system or something similar since it loads on the pages leading up to form fills.
Edit: Source for you disbelievers - https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/v3
>reCAPTCHA v3 returns a score for each request without user friction. The score is based on interactions with your site and enables you to take an appropriate action for your site.
Google Captcha is a complete mess at this point and I often leave websites that use it if it's not essential to what I am doing
I 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.
