There’s an option to skip the captcha if you’re using a screen reader. They then use other heuristics to determine you’re a human. It didn’t work for me the first time, but then did. You may or may not be able to use it if you navigate with the keyboard.
Are those heuristics low bandwidth or is audio involved?
I disable images because of bandwidth consumption. So I’m wondering if it makes sense to install a screen reader in my case.
I think you’d have to ask them. They may or may not answer…
Thanks for the tip!
Although it’s a tricky decision because if the server can detect that you use a screen reader, then your browser fingerprint uniqueness would increase quite a bit.
A website can't usually detect if you're using a screen reader, but there's CSS tricks to hide text so it'll only be read by screen readers. This basically just requires putting them somewhere somebody not using a screen reader can't see.
What OS and browser support that? Isnt it highly specific?
Pretty much all of them. No. Proton set up the option themselves.
