Moving from reCAPTCHA to hCaptcha
One of the more insidious elements of ReCAPTCHA is its propensity to challenge users who have robust cookie blocking in place. So as we encourage people to be more privacy-aware, the web gets harder and harder to use.We've seen ReCAPTCHA pop all over ecommerce, all over benign websites with little to no need to challenge use almost completely because of the increase in privacy-aware users.ReCAPTCHA essentially flies in the face of the recent blocking features rolling into Safari and Firefox and more privacy-aware users...growing by the day.In many ways it's a genius structure from Google.
1. Convince people to use your privacy challenge.
2. Serve it when you don't see Google tracking cookies.
3. Offer a way around that with the least privacy-aware browser available (Chrome use is growing steadily month over month.So good on Cloudflare.
