Yeah, that happened to be while back. Turning on enough privacy protection features makes you indistinguishable from all the bots filling the internet with spam. Between fingerprint prevention and temporary containers, my browser looks like an entirely new computer every time I open a new tab, and as you may expect, that’s exactly the kind of browser most websites don’t want hitting important forms.
If you’re on a VPN you an try switching to another exit node, otherwise switching to another browser is probably your best option. If you’re not behind a VPN, you can try getting a different IP address through your router settings. If you’re behind a shared IP address (CG-NAT, commonly used in poor countries and on mobile networks) one of your IP address neighbours is probably letting a botnet runt though their connection and the message won’t disappear for a while
Shit sucks, but got CAPTCHAs to prevent any abuse you need to cut off some users these days. AI has become too good at pretending to be human.
At least Cloudflare has the privacy pass addon that’ll let you bypass fingerprinting derived CAPTCHAs. It’s only going to get worse the coming years as AI gets more powerful.
So if captchas such at identifying humans why are we still using them? Just to train googles own personal AI for free? (technically not even, people pay them for recaptcha)
Privacy Pass lives and is built into Safari, but it’ll only work on Cloudflare based CAPTCHA. Google could implement it in reCAPTCHA if they wanted it, I suppose, but the supposed development of an RFC standard doesn’t seem to have happened yet.

Is privacy pass still alive?
