I have noticed lately that several sites I’ve tried to login to, some I already have an account, some I am trying to make a new account give me what seems like endless captchas.
The two notables ones from my memory, Etsy, where I’ve had an account for years and have 2fa enabled ffs. The other Unity, where I’m trying to make an account to join a friends Organization.
After several minutes the captches just seem to keep going and I get more and more frustrated to the point I just give up and don’t login (which is not really an option with my Etsy store).
My setup isn’t anything crazy, Firefox, Fedora 40, no vpn’s or anything. Always from either my laptop or gaming system.
Does anyone else have this issue? What are the options?
I think this is simply because ai has now reached a dumb humans level of solving captchas and now a statistical analysis of success rate is the only way to tell the difference. Those of us who try and avoid trackers are going to be completely fucked when humans are worse at I’m not a robot that a robot. What the fuck are we going to do?
Could we then make a browser extension that overlays a green color to the correct panels to click? Would be faster!
There’s a plugin that does them automatically lol
