I noticed, when you browse with Linux or a VPN and sites go crazy- that HCaptcha seems far friendlier than Recaptcha in that i never get stuck in a loop like Recaptcha does where it glitches out, or bugs out and makes it so you'll spend 5+ minutes going through 5 or 6 rounds of matching images because it oddly fails.

If captchas are so important - serious point, perhaps different ones are the way to go?

I apologize in advance if this is more of a setting of difficulty from Cloudflare on Recaptcha, and Hcaptcha potentially being able to be set just as difficult/cost you as much time to get past/etc

That isn't just a reCaptcha thing. HCaptcha will definitely do that as well -- and if anything it's worse, because some of the "identify this AI-generated image" challenges are pretty awful. (At one point, I recall it asking me to "select the ladybugs" with nine images all containing round spotted bugs in slightly different shades of red and orange.)
