I browse normally by default using Tor network, Cloudflare is a bit slow with the initial validation, but I always get into any website.

Website owners can block users to access via Tor network without using Cloudflare services anyway ... so this isn't any problem about Cloudflare.

I think Google is still the worst with their infinite CAPTCHA validation. Before doing those CAPTCHA validations (which could take you like 10 minutes to complete them all) I rather close the link and ignore it exist, they don't block, but they make it impossible for Tor users.

you should use a SearX or searXNG instance instead of google anyway.

Recaptcha is on more sites than just google

perhaps Buster would make it a bit less of a hassle? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/buster-captcha-solver/

This is hilarious since the whole point of captcha is to verify if you're a human

[–] noodlejetski@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

you want more hilarious? you can configure the addon to use Google's own speech recognition engine.
