On Tor we show a fake captcha on the demo, which allows to collect multiple key presses and use each as a user-provided trigger.

This is a really clever way to coerce interactivity!

Clever indeed; I only suspected this the second go-round, after I noticed the reload button flicker as I typed. I also noticed you don't have to press Enter or even type the correct phrase to get past the fake prompt. In hindsight, the easy to guess text should have been a dead give-away, but it wasn't.

Does that bypass any alerts that would be presented to the user by the browser?
