That sounds like a good solution GM. Have bookmarked it is 'just in case'. I hope it continues to work for you.

Re: Captchpa required all the time

I have signed up to about 15 job agencies, most have Captchua.

It is the biggest load of crap on the planet, as it uses US simplified English and asked for stuff that is impossible to see.

Re: Captchpa required all the time

I keep getting Captchpa too.

It a PIA especially as it often does things like - clock on traffic lights - when it displays the crosswalk pictures.

As the General has said, privacy pass works. The ony problem for most of you is that it only works presently with Chrome and Firefox browsers and you all use neither.

Edge, IE, Safari and others really need to catch up on this.

Being a FF user I did this the first time it occurred, it is very rare I need to complete an hcaptcha now.

IE and Edge users should have received a notification ages ago to upgrade to Chromium which is the new MS Edge browser based on Chrome. The extension works fine on that and it is what I am using.

Not being an MS Edge user I didn't know that.

Re: Captchpa required all the time

I use FireFox and do NOT use a VPN.

Installed Privacy Pass extension and see no reduction in the Captchpa prompts.

I am getting captchas with quite a regularity recently too, it's getting really annoying. I'm not using a VPN when it happens.

Re: Captchpa required all the time

Are any of you using any kind of adblocking or privacy enhancing extensions? Noscript/Ghostscript?

Why would this matter?

I'm using adblock plus. Privacy pass works just fine.

If you click on the privacy pass icon it will tell you how many passes you have.

It depends on what you're blocking and how you're blocking it. I use uBlock Origin with mostly default settings and that works fine, but if you start blanket blocking javascript on pages, etc. it can make things like CAPCHAs pop up more often.

CAPCHA, especially more recent versions of reCAPCHA work on a sort of scoring system. It's a little opaque with how it works but the gist is that your browsing habits give you a score and if the score falls below a certain number, you get to prove that you're human.

Theoretically, proving you're human should boost the score significantly but if you're seeing the prompt a lot, then it implies something is affecting your score. Unfortunately it's not the clearest how this is done at all, but things like blocking scripts could cause it.

To be clear, I hate ads a lot and I block everything I can, so I don't think it's specific to using an adblocker at all, but I think there's more to it. If your browser is out of date by a lot, or you've been fiddling with the user agent for whatever reason, that could be affecting it.

I'm not sure about an adblocker or VPN affecting privacy pass. As I said I use AdBlock plus and quite often a VPN neither of which prevent privacy pass working. It is now a rarity when I see any captcha.
