and the cookies that they use to spy on people to determine the probability of you being a human

which is why I assume, as a VPN user who rejects as many cookies as possible, I constantly have to do 5-6 fucking captchas in a row, sometimes more, before it'll let me through.. I can't be that bad at doing them lol

Is it frustrating? Fuck yeah. Will it get me to change my behaviour and drop those measures so that the companies getting in my way can collect more of my data? Fuck no.

Have you tried using an automatic CAPTCHA solver (e.g. Buster)?

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

No, will give it a look, thanks

I will have to look into this as well

Yup, as soon as I moved to a privacy-focused browser, pi-hole, and VPN, I started getting a ton more captchas and they had many more in a row.

I consider it a badge of honor.

I also started getting way more once I moved from chrome to Firefox.
