hcaptcha started out nice, but it quickly got way worse. Maybe more privacy, but it wants me to solve so many dumb puzzles, while Google is usually happy with only one.

If captchas weren’t a rare-ish occurrence for me, I’d buy a nopeCha subscription to solve that shit for me.

This is entirely configurable by the site owner. hCaptcha has entirely passive score-based detection, 99.9% passive mode, and more aggressive options as needed.

(disclosure: work there)

Passive scores rarely work for me, because I block trackers and as much 3rd party things as I can get away with. But I guess I’ll believe you and be slightly less annoyed with hCaptcha.
