@kamnikaz I think it's got something to do with complicating the process of making the bot. The technology might not have a tab stop or whatever, and the person will wait for it to appear on their screen while most bots wouldn't, etc. I don't think it's meant as a 100% effort, just an effective complication.

rmahey5998y@kamnikaz it uses your browsing history that Google has stored to see if youve been doing anything weird. If you are logged in to google then it helps them even more. It also checks your IP address to see if it's been doing anything odd and finally it checks your mouse movements to see if they are human like. Also checks click duration etc

deMark4278yOk now I'm actually curious as to how it works.. you just tick the box and then it magically knows you're human!
Although sometimes it's unsure so it asks you to find photos of trees or shop fronts etc...
