I know this is partially a joke, but I’d like to mention that as a Firefox user with uBo and uMatrix, I almost never have to solve challenges with ReCaptcha.

how? do you just allow all cookies/scripts/xhr on your umatrix? i'm on a similar config and I get captchas far often than any other users on the same network for some reason.

  • I use the uMatrix plugin to automatically allow what’s required for ReCaptcha, that tends to work. I do get the annoying picker sometimes and have an AI extension to solve it for me, but it’s relatively rare, like 1 out of 5 times max (I generally don’t see RC that often).

    No idea how I’d compare to others on my Network, that’d only be my wife and as a Linux user she’d probably get more than me with Windows ;)

On the other hand as a user of Firefox I simply cannot pass Cloudflare's verification at all, I always end up in a loop. It's been like that for more than a year... Sometimes it does work on a private window, no idea why or how since I have the same extensions enabled.
