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

    Change you browsers user-agent(set to chrome on windows), clear cookies & disconnect router for 1 min. Then try again. Let me know if it works 😀

      I guess I can change the user agent. I kind of want to use firefox agent to force sites to keep it around. But yeah for this purpose you’re probably right.

        Yup, some websites outright deny non chromium browser
