Anyone else get infinite challenges (when using Firefox + VPN) to prove you are a human when you are just trying to read a link at archive.is?

    It’s probably because you haven’t proven you’re a human to their satisfaction. Do you have Firefox’s privacy settings turned way up? You may need to set an exception. If you block too much and are mixed in with a bunch of other clients, you look like a bot.

      If that’s the case, you don’t need an exception but use other websites. Never lower privacy settings if something like thus occurs

    Tte prove that you are human thing work with a mouse movement tracker, if you move the mouse to straightline or calculate movement to the checkbox, the algorritm supposed a bot. But normally this issue you have is due to some extension, browsersetting or security soft. In Vivaldi I checked it in a guest profile, this putt the browser to the default settings and without extensions. I think in Firefox there will be a similar methode to check it, otherwise desactive the extensions one by one and clear the cache.
