There are some really awful captchas out there. I miss the days of just typing out some stretched and tilted numbers and letters.

Of course, they want you to train their AI for them.
But checking a box only works if they can somehow determine you're human (cookies, crawlies, i dunno). Which may work if you're only using uBlock, but not with a hardened user.js.
Those captchas only work because you previously have correctly solved a captcha and it saved your session. It is a credential-less login.
