Am I the only one who has to do like 12 of these in a row before my humanity is recognized? Beyond mildly inconvenient, it's downright annoying now.

Edit: I use Mullvad + Firefox + Betterfox + uBO. I don't think my setup is that sophisticated lmao

After 2, I say "fuck it" and find a different option.

Works as long as it's not your bank or something

Look, I know I probably have an account balance, and it's probably positive... What else is there to know?

Thankfully, the credit union I use has not implemented that so far. Just 2-factor authentication.

After I started using a VPN it's way too annoying to try and pass it. I use the audio alternative when possible. If not I kinda just give up lol

I tried the audio once. I could hear less than half of the needed numbers. I don't know how blind people are supposed to pass google captchas if the audio challenge is so garbled.

The last one I did seemed to be a snippet from a yt video. Maybe it's better now

Maybe I'm mixing it up with some other captcha service (hCaptcha?).

It's because you are using a VPN. You always get a ton more captchas when using a VPN on some websites. Mainly because they don't want you using one, so you can be tracked for ads.

imo thats unusual.
i usually need to do 3 at most.

do you use a vpn or something like that?

If it has an error it will keep asking you for more forever.

It’s best to refresh the page if you get more than a couple.

Those are used to train AI, so my guess is there are some kinds of quotas that they have to make within a certain time and when they underperform they just increase the load on each user.

If i try to pretend im a human it goes faster. Fidget with the mouse, hesitate and make a few small mistakes.

You aren't the only one. I don't bother solving them anymore because of this nonsense. I simply close the tab.

I just use an extension to solve it, that I was told about on here. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/buster-captcha-solver/ if it can't solve it, just hit refresh, and try again.

No. The point of recapatcha is to punish people protecting themselves. The system absolutely lies to you that you got a challenge incorrect.

This may have changed since they seem to alter how these things work from time to time, but I’ve found that if you just keep getting one captcha after another, and you know you’re not making errors, try solving them slowly.

I do but I'm pretty sure it's cause I select EVERY frame the object is in.
