Ask HN: Any good FOSS alternative to Google's reCAPTCHA?

We are trying out https://www.hcaptcha.com/ in our application.

It's not FOSS, but seem to be a viable alternative to give a go. So far it does the job, though the images load a little bit slower than recaptcha

I'm not a big fan of hCAPTCHA at it's current form. The challenges seems so much harder than reCAPTCHA ones and I keep failing them. The images are just extremely low quality. Maybe I'm a bot.

I get easy challenges. Perhaps even a bit easier than the reCAPTCHA ones, and less of them for sure.

It's way worse than Google's for me. I am using Firefox and I don't even try anymore whenever get exposed to it on any Cloudflare website.

Founder of HCaptcha here. Have you tried our privacy pass or accessibility features?

The answer to "your basic service doesn't work well" should not be "well have you tried our additional services?"

I am scrolling through HN on my phone and saw privacy pass isn't supported for android. Is porting privacy pass to the android version of Firefox on your roadmap at all? If not, would you consider adding it to your roadmap? Thanks.

No, I haven't but your service is making it literally impossible to browse with Firefox and Tor (understandably because you're here to make money from your customers labeling people like me as a threat in their dashboards not to enable people to actually browse easily). Even reCAPTCHA doesn't do that.

I suspect you will see a considerable bounce rate once you switch. Pretty much the day Cloudflare flipped over half the web became 'captcha every 5 seconds' garbage.

Some sites that are the only source of what I'm looking for will be fine, but most I just bounce from now.
