Interesting, the text says "reCAPTCHA doesn't share your details with this site", but it says nothing about sharing your details with Google. Which means yes?

Naturally, "Your data is private[ly] and secure[ly stored in plain text on our servers so that it's only accessed by us and shared with the advertising partners we choose]."

For me this archive.is thing has been unusable for a long time already, because they rely on Google Captcha for a long time already and I block Google shit by default. Allowing Google is probably equivalent to showing them your id, due to fingerprinting in the name of "safety". That's why archive.is is not helpful and usually just a tab I close again right away.

I thought archive.is were the ones squabbling with Cloudflare (extreme simplification)

I just tried using archive.is on my non-degoogled phone using IronFox instead of Chrome and could not pass the recaptcha. Actually it presented me the mobile attestation on second try, but I was able to switch to images again. But I am also unable to pass that one with the tracking protections built into the browser. Hopefully some 'serious' website starts using this so I can bomb their customer support.

Seriously? I didn't realize this was already happening. FWIW I still got the old captcha testing that site, and I often get flagged and blocked, though it's possible you're doing better.

You can still use the audio captcha, but I’m not sure how long that’ll be around.

Google will incur serious lawsuits if they remove that accessibility aspect.
reply
Google has already been crippling the audio CAPTCHA access for many years. If your trust score is low enough, the visual challenge is ridiculously slow and noisy, and pressing the audio challenge button will just give you an error saying "To protect our users, we can't process your request right now", accessibility be damned. Where are the lawsuits? I want to believe there are still forces that would create hell to pay for doing something so evil, but I'm not seeing any.
reply
They'll keep it, but require TPM in each ear.
reply
Haven't you heard? Accessibility is woke, and the institutions that are supposed to protect it are being dismantled. I wouldn't be counting on those lawsuits going anywhere personally.
reply
Sound advice.

i wondered the same earlier and i am pretty sure they are just mimicking cloudflare's validation page. no way that cloudflare is paying reCAPTCHA when they have theor product, turnstile, available.
reply
What? Don't Cloudflare literally have their own CAPTCHA service? Why are they using reCAPTCHA?
reply
They mimic the cloudflare captcha page but they're not hosted by cloudflare.

Wow, This is really bad :-(

I think this is just gonna make viewing internet without a phone significantly harder especially with archive.is and the likes.

Not sure, how relevant this is to the discussion but if it helps, I have made a project[0] which allows to archive archive.is pages on archive.org/wayback machine (this uses singlefile)

Perhaps something like this can be used by community at scale too. Also, I hope that archive.is does something to fix this issue of requiring QR code and hopefully it doesn't become a permanent issue.
