I ditched reCaptcha and switched to Cloudflare Turnstile recently. It’s been a lot more effective. Not sure about this but I won’t be switching back for the time being.

Why not hcaptcha or anubis? I had to block Cloudflare JS due to abuse, so I can't use any sites that require it.

It's hard to say which one is more maddening annoying

From one egg basket to another; both are flawed in design.
