Why is Audio not an option? #458

Closed RobinOehler closed 1 year ago

RobinOehler commented 3 years ago

When I choose Audio instead of this (shitty) image click challenge which takes forever to be finished I get flagged as bot and can't even do an Image Captcha without a page reload. What is this Madness? What if I'm a blind user?

In my case I use uMatrix, VPN and all the privacy goodness which makes reCAPTCHA hate me. This leads to me hating reCAPTCHA too. Result is me using a hack which solves the captcha for me AUTOMATICALLY by solving the audio challenge. reCAPTCHA (as any captcha) is a joke and only keeps (and stresses) out the uninformed. Until now I've never been flagged as a bot though. Maybe block cookies/localstorage a bit harder for google domains? EDIT: I actually did just get block with "blah, blah, bot, your network, blah" so I switched countries and it worked again. Shows again reCAPTCHA is punishing the wrong guys.

Repo is just for PHP client issues. This is about the reCAPTCHA service.
