Recaptcha has been trash for years now. Like, it either doesn't bock bots, or it blocks actual real people. Don't use it. Use turnstile.

Maybe this is the kick up the arse companies need to finally start using hCaptcha or even Anubis.
I hope so, but it could easily come the other way. "We are so used to/deeply integrated/in a close strategic partnership with Google therefore we rather lose 5 % of our customers that care about privacy and are a pain in the ass for our data-driven business."
5% is huuuge overestimate. Maybe on a tech site or forum. On a regular website for the general public? Less than a rounding error. Remember, we are in a lemmy bubble
One can only hope. I know it likely won’t happen. But one has to have hope.
Yes just like they all actively support the Firefox browser...
Please not hCaptcha. It's basically guaranteed to generate infinite loops.
Can’t say I’ve come across that before
Everyone needs to flood the web with fake reCAPTCHA QR codes that lead to something that looks malicious to the average person.
