buster VS invidious-updater

The captcha buster extension[^0] along with the service on you computer to move the mouse for you works very very well. It uses google’s TTS (afaik) to transcribe the audio captcha. It’s google verifying another google service works well. I find it very satisfying to not provide my labor to train googles computer vision corpus but instead have the snake bite it’s own tail.

Anyway, I highly recommend buster, I barely notice captchas anymore with it.

I was thinking something like Buster, an extension to "bypass" ReCaptchas.

If you use Firefox than use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/buster-captcha-solver/ to automatically solve captchas otherwise change your search engine to DuckDuckGo, your privacy will thank you.

reCAPTCHA allows for audio challenges as accessibility fallback. And this has been a loophole for a long time to automatically solve them via google's own speech-to-text API https://github.com/dessant/buster

What extensions are you looking at? I'm not sure how you missed the popular ones like Buster[1], NopeCHA[2] or 2Captcha Solver[3].

One useful trick I learned is to look for the audio captcha, for accessibility purpose they must provide one and usually it's way easier than those clunky images. Some tools also automate the audio recognition like Buster, AI solving AI challenges sounds interesting !

i just have a robot to solve captcha, so i don't need to do it myself

Jokes on you. I use a robot to solve captchas for me.

https://github.com/iv-org/invidious FOSS frontend for YouTube, loads of public instances available

There's MeTube for downloading, but if you're seeking to watch videos and playlists then maybe Invidious is what you want.

You could also selfhost an ad-free YouTube frontend like Invidious.

Invidious (an alternative front-end of YouTube) is written in Crystal: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious

That's a nice one. Also, there is Piped / Invidious which you can self-host and run or use a public instance like - https://pipedd official instance of Piped). It has no ads and tracking by default, supports 4K playback, integrated SponsorBlock (block in-video sponsor ads by content producers) and many other features.

you can use frontends for reddit and youtube if you just want to browse. for reddit, you can use libreddit. for YouTube, you can use invidious. this will make it so that your machine never sends requests directly to reddit or youtube. if you want apps, then there's newpipe, vuetube, libretube(all for android).
