Yes, HN generally seems against reCaptcha, mainly because of (understandable) Google paranoia and the fact that reCaptcha is significantly worse UX if you have privacy-centric extensions or browsers (overrepresented in HN compared to the average).

During my quick research, I remember stumbling upon comparisons. The only thing hcaptcha wins over reCaptcha is the fact that it's not owned by google.

it's also better UX for firefox. I have to go through multiple questions in reCaptcha every time I get the "not a robot" button. hCaptcha, from what I've seen, hasn't needed multiple sets of image solves to allow me through.
