All this discussion about captchas raises a question for me: if fingerprinting is so accurate and easy, that ublock, no cookies and a VPN don't help... then why the fuck do I have to keep doing captchas?
To punish you for trying to protect yourself. To extract micro-labour out of you (AI training) To discourage you from privacy best practices Oh BTW, the captcha will eventually contain unblockable ads
