It's mostly just making sure you move your mouse like a human.

The test and the answer as proposed is irrelevant.

Why does it keep asking me over and over again, then...and then other times, it doesn't. Did I accidentally move my mouse like a robot? Several times in a row?

It's more likely your IP was flagged for a reason unrelated to the captcha so it's giving you more challenges to verify.

After 362879 wrong answers you will pass. Or after 2,0922789888×10¹³ tries if it's a fancy 4x4 grid.

Ever since I've understood that it accepts objectively wrong answers as long as it somehow seems as if you gave it some thought, I've made sure to hinder the accuracy of models that try to use my data.

Meanwhile I use a VPN, so half the time it rejects me no matter what. It's really fucking annoying.

These always come up when you're in a huge rush to do something

Something about the expression on his face in that scene is so fucking funny to me. That look is just perfect for the scene.

I FUCKING HATE GOOGLE CAPTCHAS

Sometimes when I'm on VPN or TOR these little fucks won't let me in no matter what, but instead of showing error message or something, they just keep throwing new traffic lights or bicycles at me

A lot of times those are the backup captchas, the normal one looks at your browser history instead. Using a VPN will change your IP and throw off the history logs, or a setting on your browser

Nah, it's cause you're on an ip blacklist. While lots of people use vpns just for privacy reasons, there is also a lot of abuse from them and the ips get blacklisted frequently.

If you are using Firefox, switch your default search engine to DuckDuckGo, haven't gotten a captcha from them once. And right in the search bar you can switch to Google if DDG isn't doing too well on a particular search, I do end up doing that about 5% of the time.

I've been using VPN, Firefox and DDG as default search engine for years and I'm filling captchas every single day.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Huh, I've been using a VPN for under a year, and DDG for just a couple of months, but I haven't had a captcha from them yet.
