HCaptcha founder here. I am sorry you had trouble solving captchas. Perhaps your older members might have luck with https://www.hcaptcha.com/accessibility.

Thanks for responding! Do you know if this is linked anywhere within the captcha itself, or is it + Privacy Pass something that the user has to find and look up for themselves?

I don't recall seeing an accessibility link anywhere on an actual captcha HTML block, just a refresh / terms of service button.

That's a great point. It isn't. We just blog about it. Let me bring it up with the team.

Gosh, your captcha are really hard to solve, and I'm not even 25 year olds yet. Sometime I can't understand the question and what I should select because the images are showing only small part of the objects, and it's keep going and keep going, I must solve 5 - 7 questions before I can access to the target website.

I experienced the same issue and hcaptcha does not support IPv6. I was baffled when cloudflare decided to use a IPv4 only service.

In the same boat. I had to put it on the easiest but I still fail sometimes and you often have to cross out like 90% of the images given, whereas with competitors like recaptcha it's often just 2 or 3 images.

Hcapthas are a godsend compared to Google Captcha. Google always puts me on a loop and asks me to solve 8-10.

For me it's the opposite. hcaptcha questions are usually atleast solvable, even if you get some parts wrong. Google usually wants me to solve 4-5 of the image questions, sometimes I just get fully blocked without explanation and can't solve further captchas.

And that is on top of not having to give more data to google.
