I don’t use Tor for all of my traffic, but sometimes I do use it just because I can. And my experience lately is that I usually get hCaptcha and I usually pass it once and get in. It’s Recaptcha that is a serious problem.


Yeah after years of suffering from reCAPTCHA I'm somewhat thankful for hCaptcha. It is still annoying (especially Cloudflare's integration which seems barely compatible with the Tor Browser's cookie and circuit management), but at least I don't have to switch exit nodes twenty times just to have a chance of my solution being accepted (like with reCAPTCHA).


Google owned domains, namely Youtube, are even worse. They often redirect to different domains for blocks so just changing the circuit does nothing.
