For site operators, they don’t like the change since users are more likely to complain to the website than directly to CF. The following community post has 20k views and >100 replies asking Cloudflare to move back to recaptcha in some form.

To be fair it doesn't seem to be _that_ bad on this thread: There's the very vocal OP as well as a "discussion" between various users that ranges from "please switch back to ReCaptcha" to "please keep hCaptcha".

For a change that affects "15% of the internet" this seems like very little negative feedback in a period of 8 months.

> Most people do the convenience from Google CAPTCHA, although they sell some kind of info, but they won’t hurt you

I can't even...this is the Cloudflare forum wow.

I've personally had a few hiccups with hCaptcha quite some time back as I "wasn't sure what I was looking for" and consistently fail on VPNs. But in recent months these there's definitely been substantial improvement , and needless to say I hope to see hCaptcha be the majority provider

Maybe the user should have the option to choose which CAPTCHA to solve.
