reCapatcha exists soley for two reasons
- Free labor to train statistical models
- Punishing people who use VPNs, noscript, etc.

I’ve had a captcha solver browser extension for as long as captchas existed. Anyone believing reCaptcha’s claim that it was ever about bot prevention is a goddamn moron

Which one do you use? I’ve used a handful over the years and they all stop working for me.

Currently it’s Buster: Captcha Solver for Humans (chromium)

Awesome, thanks! I’ll give that a shot. Although I use Firefox so I’ll have to see if they make it for non chromium.

It’s about making headless bots unreasonably expensive to make massive requests with.
