I have noticed lately that several sites I've tried to login to, some I already have an account, some I am trying to make a new account give me what seems like endless captchas.

The two notables ones from my memory, Etsy, where I've had an account for years and have 2fa enabled ffs. The other Unity, where I'm trying to make an account to join a friends Organization.

After several minutes the captches just seem to keep going and I get more and more frustrated to the point I just give up and don't login (which is not really an option with my Etsy store).

My setup isn't anything crazy, Firefox, Fedora 40, no vpn's or anything. Always from either my laptop or gaming system.

Does anyone else have this issue? What are the options?

EDIT/UPDATE: I disabled ublock origin long enough and only got one captcha. Seems google is trying to punish people using that. EDIT2: Spoke too soon, got my email verification, clicked through and back to endless captcha's.... ffs

I swear it's actually the opposite where they are like "it's only one pixel, it doesn't count." And does the guy on the bike count? It seems like no matter what I do - unless I get through on the first try - it's wrong, and I'm clicking for what seems like an hour.

Right? Like the bike seat is clearly in that other square, dammit!

Have you considered the possibility that you're a computer?

Yeah, I've found since I started doing them slower and less carefully they seem to be more acceptable. Like, start a captcha, switch to another tab and do something, then go back and finish it. No ai's doing that.

I click less because it's less time consuming on those almost endless captchas. So person on bike, no. Bike itself, yes. Small pixel in another square, no. Often I get through by just clicking >50% of the tiles that seam required, like just the middle 1-2 parts of the bike and click proceed. Screw those where you habe to select all tiles because of a bus close-up.
