Qwant sometimes hits Tor users with this puzzle after they submit a query. Then after solving the puzzle, they're brought back to an empty form so they must re-type their query.

Duckduckgo has started this too. Very annoying.

Edit: just realised this post was from 3 years ago... I don't know why this popped up lol.

I've started to notice several old posts are now doing that. I wonder if its a bug

Uhm... DuckDuckGo has worked and still works just fine in Tor for me?

[–] kostel_thecreed@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Maybe I'm unlucky, but I've gotten quite a few captchas.

You’re ducking wrong then; just use DDG’s onion page if you’re searching within TOR. No exit node then.

[–] kostel_thecreed@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Going to do this from now on, but I have only gotten 4-5 captchas in total, so nothing much to worry about imo.

Are you sure you aren't on an old static exit node or guard node? Try refreshing your state file.

Which one of those squares is supposed to be unique though? They all have a unique color, so maybe it doesn’t even matter which one you click?

[–] Iceman@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Aha. Got you. You’re a bot.

[–] TheButtonJustSpins 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Shit, so am i.

Edit: maybe the space around the squares is the unique shape? Since there's only one of those, but the squares aren't unique.

Edit 2: maybe the three squares count as one unique symbol?

My mom ever told me. This human/bot dysphoria is causing me some very conflicting emotions.

This is the second post under "hot" on my home tab BTW.
