I tried to sign up for a Blizzard account and they were giving me long-ass math problems and I had to do fucking 16 of them. So I gave up.
Fuck Blizzard and fuck whoever is setting up the Captchas
Did you know: to cancel a Blizzard account you have to send them a photo copy of your ID card? I've only ever had to do that for some job applications, and government forms online. But for a video game account??
Since I started using a privacy respecting browser and moved to GNU/Linux, my whole life is captchas.
Try using a VPN on top of that.
It makes sense that VPN users see CAPTCHAs though... By design, it's hard to differentiate an attacker from a legitimate user, and there's a LOT of cyberattacks that go via VPNs.
That's also why banks and online stores don't like VPNs. It's hard to tell if it's you logging in vs if it's an attacker using the same VPN as you.
Firefox and Linux have not really caused any more captchas than I had on windows, using a VPN on the other hand is horrible.
Captchas is one of the reason why I ditched Google as my default engine because I started having nightmares about blurry low res pictures of motorcycles and busses and pedestrian crossings broken up into squares.
Has anyone else received a reCAPTCHA from Google where they intentionally pixelated the image squares you have to click?
There are some really awful captchas out there. I miss the days of just typing out some stretched and tilted numbers and letters.
OTOH there are captchas that you just need to check a box today. It boggles my mind this is not more widespread.
