  • They are a mix of small sorting games with a time limit and visual quizzes that can get really hard to solve. There was one where you have to rotate three small round pictures inside another picture to match the background picture that is basically just noise. Every market has its own multistep captcha system and they change quite a lot. Some are creative, some are just nightmare. The hardest ones are those where you have to solve multiple rotations of miniature „pictures“ that are like ultra close ups of things with an extreme compression and noise and somehow you have to decide if they are houses or bridges. The compression is so bad, you can barely even make out what those rotated 30x30 grey pixel smush are. And there are 6 of them you have to solve in a certain time. I ran into timeouts constantly and have to start over.






  • Hey Guys, Microsoft is cool now, they really care for Open Source now, they changed.

    How do people always forget, how often they get fucked by that company in the last 20 years, that they think anything changed? They still abuse their monopoly, they still buy up the work of others and they still will then dilute it down for their bottom line and restrict it to force you to use a login to harvest data on your profile (see also Windows).

    Everyone who said it’s cool that MS bought Github, because they are now Pro-Open-Source: Can we please have a round table every 2 years and talk. Because I think you guys are victims of the Stockholm syndrome and do not even notice.

  • Do you know why it is so badly reviewed? 4.3 is not that high. I skimmed the reviews and saw some people say it only works 30% of the time and another said it “does not work in FF but in Brave” (so relatively sure its just a astroturfing comment). I see they have a github, so I could go the way of reading the JS code and package it myself into a extension somehow that never updates, but that is easier said than done.

    I really wish there were more ways to trust extensions. There are so many shady extensions who update in the background and insert malicious code on a later state when they gained track, that it is really hard for me to trust any of them. Eespecially when those Extension ask for nothing less than all my data on all my visited websites. For this reason I really would like to see this implemented natively in FF and not via an extension. Extensions are good for edge cases. The GDPR consent request is not an edge case. It is something everyone has to click several times a day. This is screaming for a permanent solution.
