reCaptcha is routinely broken for me. Almost every time I see it I have to solve it about a dozen times, then it decides I’m not human. After 2-3 page refreshes it does let up but it’s frustrating as hell.

Are you on Linux by any chance? For some reason this is now deemed 'suspicious' by recaptcha and cloudflare :( Especially if you use Firefox. It's driving me crazy getting bombarded by these.

  • Did you try faking user agent?

    • Yes but that made it worse.

      In fact I used to fake user agent all the time because Microsoft 365 is so retarded. With the Firefox/Linux user agent a lot of features don't work. When it pretends to be MS Edge it works fine. Clearly trying to force people to use the 'invented here' browser :(

      But as I was getting captcha's I moved to using it only for the MS365 sites and nowhere else. It seems to have reduced the captcha's somewhat, especially the ones that never end (keep looping). But I still get a ton of "Your browser is suspicious, here's an extra check" nonsense from Cloudflare in particular.
