    4chan’s captchas are some of the hardest I’ve ever seen, it’s not enough that it’s hard to tell what the fuck it’s written but having to align the text beforehand is just evil.

      It’s why everyone is using browser addons or mobile apps that solve it for you. It’s not very resilient against computers solving them, it seems.

        A captcha that is easier for a computer to solve than a person seems rarher counterproductive…

            To be fair 4chan can be blamed for many things but not for the fact that we now have bots that are really good at solving captchas.

        Somehow it never occured to me to look for captcha solvers, got to try that next time I visit the site, although I doubt it’ll work very well.

          The phone app I use gets it right 10/10. The browser extension, I don’t remember which I used was 8/10 or so iirc
