YSK: You can bypass hCaptcha and Cloudflare Captcha legally with Privacy Pass extension

iso@lemy.lol to You Should Know@lemmy.world – 86 points –

There's been an add-on called Privacy Pass for a few years now. This plugin gives you 30 passes for CF and 5 passes for hCaptcha when you solve one. For example, once you solve 1 captcha for Cloudflare, you will not see 30 captchas again! It will automatically pass.

The good thing is, it's perfectly legal. Powered by Cloudflare and hCaptcha. Valid for Chrome and Firefox.

Any bypass of hcaptcha and powered by Cloudfare would be legal. There is no legal requirement to go through those services.

However these extensions most likely enhance the tracking provided to these services, in exchange for not exploiting you as much to train their AI.

It's open source and they explain how it's done on the github page. It doesn't seem invasive.

Yeah i donโ€™t care about the legality part too. But its working stable for years. Cloudflare is already tracking whole web anyways ๐Ÿค” Any alternative is appreciated.

So this is basically the same companies letting you choose whether you want to be extra tracked or just the normal amount plus your free AI training sessions?

I don't know which one it is, but I keep getting stuck in a loop for the "select all the images of a bike". I have to switch to the audio version every time.

Have you considered whether you're a bot? ๐Ÿ˜‚

It should be hCaptcha. I hate it more than Cloudflare or Google. We're literally doing Tesla autopilot AI training for free on it :)

Maybe that's why they brake suddenly. Some trolls are clicking a picture of open highway when the captcha asks them to click deadly obstructions.
