    Alternatively, find someone to launch a class action suit. Wait 10 years. Cash your $2 check.

    step 1 is correct, step 2 is being told off for wasting their time (even if they're getting paid for it) as the users of the service are actually the website hosters, and they're bound by terms & conditions which determine the maximum award from any disagreement is the same or less than the lawyers hourly fee

    You're forgetting the important step: solve the recaptcha on the law firm's contact form.

    Like others have already mentioned the only time I get recaptcha's that loop and don't resolve is when using certain vpn's that have likely been ip flagged, rest of the time there's none on the sister site when I login and only one on any of the file hosting sites, zero issues on any other site. Main browsers are Brave and Firefox with the usual addons and I always use seperate profiles for different activities, I haven't seen ads on the internet for well over a decade and all recap's resolve in seconds.

    I've recommended brave (desktop and mobile) to various non-tech savvy people I know around the world and no one has had any issues at all.

    What you described would be completely unacceptable to me, so I really hope you find a solution.

    well I'm collecting evidence, examples:

    there is no way this is compliant with service inclusivity for disabled people and freedom of internet access according to EU laws

    @tzzsmk: You know that if you open an account on sister site, you don't have any captchas, right? Problem solved.

    For the rest of the internet, do exactly like @ChiQuita : remove Javascript with an ad or a script blocker: yes for some site it will be impossible, but for other sites (like DDL sites) it will make your life far easier.

    Other measure: I don't know why people want absolutely to keep their cookies between sessions. I'm lazy, but I don't mind each time I launch my session, to login again manually on my favorite sites. Firefox, for example, have a very great password manager, it types the logins and passwords for you, you just have to click on "login" and it's OK!

    Conclusion: set your browser so that each time you quit it, it erases completely cache and cookies. This way, each time, you start with a fresh session. It stops sites - like SN - to spy on your surfing history, etc. (it's what FB, TT, Insta, YT, X and/or any other Social Network do: they spy on your surfing habits, so that they can spit 'personalized' (LOL) ads and content on your face each time they see you... I do hate SN because of that!)

    You still deal with them when using the "services". Which is why I avoid using the "services" provided by AZ unless absolutely necessary or a real link to a service that plays fair is floated (rarely).

    They can try and track you all they want on a vpn but the end result is moot. Firefox is really the only browser I know of that has the logoff cookie nuker built in. Which is why I use FF for most all surfing.

    You'll be quite displeased to know that they do have compliant solutions for those with disabilities.

    Didn't take long to find, but I can't blame you if you're that averse to Google's services.

    TL;DR;
    One thing I know is when you do multiple captchas in a relatively short time they increase the difficulty. But if memory serves they do it by adding noise (grain like) to the images, and this doesn't seem the @OPs case.

    During some months several years ago I did find some over-difficult ones. But not anymore. Probably because the AIs are getting better. Which is some pretty disturbing shit if you ask me but well, shit happens :rofl:
