Honestly sick of captchas. Think because I'm using Firefox with adblockers. I get them anytime I try to visit a site. It's basically making using the Internet a slog.

I'd start creating bots to do them for me. Fucking life

I too would love a captcha solver extension for Firefox. Those things are getting annoying.

Hmm maybe it's my vpn causing it

This extension works for Google reCAPTCHA

Beyond annoying.

Are you sing Tor or a VPN? Sharing the same IP with thousands of other people is something that would lead to getting captchas every time you visit a site. Most sites use Cloudflare or other CDNs, and they see the same IP making tons of requests every second, so they flag it as a potential bot IP and issue the captcha challenge.

Vpn. Proton. Yeah that makes sense. It asks me on certain sites. Cloud flare stuff

Kinda ironic. I use CloudFlare’s own VPN (WARP/1.1.1.1) and I still get CAPTCHAs, arguably more than when I used proton.

I just got one now using proton. Pretty sure it's that.

Weird, I use the same and rarely see them
