I've found that since switching to Firefox I get a lot more captchas than in Chrome or chromium.



It's even worse if you enable Firefox's fingerprinting resistance. For example Drupal.org is essentially unusable with Firefox anti-fingerprinting (even for basic things like patch information). Ditto Zillow.

I have to use a separate "fingerprint me" profile.


I use Firefox exclusively with default anti-tracking settings plus CookieAutoDelete. But I guess I see less than 1 captcha a week.

AWS on my private, hardly used account was the most annoying one in the past because I had at least a 50% chance to get it wrong. But that does no longer come up after I enabled 2FA.
