Does anyone else act more 'human' when solving captchas? - eviltoast

Whenever I have to do a captcha where you must select all tiles with bicycles, I know I can just click through super fast, but I feel like that might make the website suspicious, so I purposefully slow down like “Geez, this is a melon-scratcher!” or click and then unclick a tile like “whoops, silly me, thats an umbrella not a bicycle!” And wiggle the mouse randomly a bit as if Im double-checking my work even when I know damn well I got all the bicycles in 0.67 seconds.

Basically I feel like I have to act dumb so the internet doesn’t think I’m a bot. DAE get this?

    Here you go - scroll down below the code, links to add extension to each browser. When you click the captcha, there’s a new button (person with a checkmark) at bottom right of captcha popup. Hit that, and wait a second or two.

    The extension will work its magic and make the captcha go away.

    No more wondering whether I should pretend to be human, or a bot, or if I need to slow down clicking thru.
