      it’s the recaptchas that they should have trouble with. since it’s not just about finding the right picture, it’s also about the time between clicks, the way the mouse moves, etc.

          but us humans aren’t truly random, we probably behave in similar ways to each other, but also have individual ‘fingerprints’. like the time it takes between keystrokes, or the length of time we spend holding the button on the mouse down while clicking. we could probably come up with a way of identifying someone based only on that kind of data. what was i talking about?

            Not without enough context to know what time of day, if the person is ill, or a ton of other things that would make someone respond differently at different points in time.

            The anti bot stuff is going to be looking for too much consistency, which is hard look for on its own before trying to look for some kind of ‘fingerprint’

        reCaptcha never works for me. Probably something with thirdpartyisolation.enabled. Can’t snoop all the history and stuff.

        Yeah, and a couple of people I know who were consistently reported to be robots because they’ve been shown captcha too much and as a result solved it too well. Which in turn led to more captcha and improved solving speed. Well, you see the problem, I guess
