Captcha frustrations

Dmacca — Wed, 04 Oct 2023 14:23:04 GMT

Firefox has always been my preferred browser, but Captcha is forcing me to use Brave, which remembers that I am NOT a Bot. Fix this, or make it more user friendly and I might come back.

Firefox never loads captchas for me. The little wheel thing will just keep spinning. I have been using Brave for all websites that require signing in using a captcha.

Yes, the endless spinner is a new problem this week. Google's script bugs out when the browser identifies itself as Firefox for Windows. Mozilla has informed Google of this problem. The temporary workaround is to have Firefox lie about its identity (you can say it's Firefox for Mac or Chrome for Windows or various other things that work).

I have this ongoing problem. Can't complete as its not visible, then getting a form filling error as i haven't completed the invisible test, often quite important documents, eg, Gov't. Very frustrating. Is it just Goggles version, are there better versions, if so they needs advertising their strengths so companies don't use Google's version.

Same here! I have these captchas every time I need to log on to my bank. I have to do 4- 6 of them sometimes. It is enough to make me stop using Firefox. Please Remove them. My bank uses SMS verification so this is pure annoyance. . My bank says it is the browser NOT them So Am switching to Duck Duck Go.

I totally get your frustration!

There are many websites that when I am on Mozilla I can’t even see that I’m supposed to be completing a captcha, so get stuck every time. My only option is to switch to Chrome or whatever. So annoying
