Unlike Google, which is making hundreds of billions with ads, we have zero reasons to track users - customers pay us to stop bots, and that's the product we provide.

one significant issue with recaptcha is that it punishes users who are not easily identifiable. the puzzle isn't enough for recaptcha - it needs to know who you are. is hcaptcha better in this regard? for example does it work behind tor? does it work with third party cookies disabled? is the challenge im ostensibly solving really the only thing required to verify my humanity? if so, i'm impressed! but if not, maybe we should just do away with the puzzles...
