Yo listen up here’s a story
About a little girl that lives in a furry world
And all day and all night and everything she sees
Is just furry like her inside and outside

i think it’s better then waiting for the captcha to load then pressing it and then waiting more for it to confirm
Fun fact, if recaptcha experiences any error it just feeds you more captchas forever.
You’re better off refreshing after you complete one and aren’t authenticated.
Another fun fact: most captchas, including recaptcha, are used to train AI. Some of the puzzle it will know the solution to (which is what it uses to verify that you’re not a bot), and the rest it won’t know the solution to and uses it to train AI. If you train your eye a bit you can eventually make pretty good guesses as to which part is which, and then go on to give the AI training part of the captcha wrong answers. There’s something satisfying to knowingly giving the captcha a wrong answer and get the green check mark anyway, pointing a middle finger at the people who thought they could get free AI training from you.
It used to be used to train text recognition software. It was super easy to tell which word was known vs unknown. The known word just looked like normal text that was edited to be kinda “wobbly” while the unknown text looked like an actual image or scan of a page. I’d always put “ass” for the unknown word.
The current iteration of captcha isn’t as straightforward in terms of identifying which is which.
IIRC, there was a time when 4chan figured this out. You have three guesses as to which direction this went.
Can I guess Nazism for all three?
I hear what you are saying, and in today’s climate I probably wouldn’t strongly disagree… But I would much rather there be a crowd-sourced exchange of services training AI instead of completely ripping off work done by real people without any permission.
But that second part is what’s happening. You aren’t getting any compensation for contributing to the training (and no, merely accessing the site doesn’t count), and that data is kept proprietary by Google, not released to the public domain.
It doesn’t need a mascot at all, though

Relax, the cute puppygirl isn’t going to give you cooties.

It’s actually a really clever monetization system. You can use the software for free, as is, or you can pay a license fee to white label the software and make it look however you want. So, the reason you’re having puppygirls inflicted on your poor virgin eyes is actually because the people running those websites cheaped out.
So they charge for making it look boring and corporate? Neat.

That’s the secondary line defense. It filters out AI grifters, who then don’t want to touch your project
i always feel safe when I see her.
She’s a friend!
I don’t understand how people can get by with disabling JS? Like aren’t 90% of modern website just straight up useless without it?
It’s fine 50% of the time & when it isn’t you can just whitelist a site if you care enough to use it.
Small price to pay for a quick and no nonsense Internet experience.
Honestly, if a site breaks and I have to click to either enable JS or close the tab, many times I just realize I didn’t really care enough and close the tab.
It’s kind of a good natural filter for my browsing addiction lmao. Sites that work fine are probably places I will like more. Gives 2000s web vibes.
I decided to give it a try and was surprised to see more sites working without js than I expected. Most that work do so partially, but enough to be usable. I started going without js after testing and seeing how blazing fast my devices load the pages, and how lightweight everything becomes, so I played a bit by disabling js by default and whitelisting the things that didn’t.
Another benefit is having no popups, no cookie banners, no ads, nothing appearing out of nowhere in your face, no content changing place, no bullshit
librejs? it blocks all of the evil javascript (read: all of it)
that’s not a furry! that’s just a jackal girl
Pardony lack of understanding, but what exactly is the difference?
A furry is an anthropomorphic animal/creature, that’s just a cat girl.
A werewolf or Bugs Bunny would be classed as a furry, a human with animal ears and/or tail is not. (That would be classed as kemonomimi)
