Captcha frequently appear when searching on brave search

[Davidhench]

just like in the title, captcha frequently appear when browsing trough brave search no idea how to fix it, using nextDNS as DoH, already changed to cloudflare but still same (idk if DoH can trigger that captcha or not).

brave version is 1.77.97 (lastest version)

edit: seem gone when not using DoH (using default DNS from my isp) but frequently appear when using DoH, but i need DoH to unblocking blocked website
edit 2: DoH wasn’t main reason of this captcha, but sometimes that captcha appear frequently and annoying
edit 3: i found the temporary fix for this issue https://community.brave.com/t/pow-capctha-temporary-fix-at-least-for-me/613041

Frustrating, and unfortunate - my experience:

Brave search can't be used due to a captcha that can't be solved

The Brave Search website, engages/employs the Cloudflare hCAPTCHA system and other routines in order to frustrate bots. I encounter that - what I call the “Cloudflare Robot Cops” - every time that I use Brave Browser Search Engine Operators > For example, in the Brave Search website’s search field at: https://search.brave.com when I use for criteria: bicycles site:ie the Cloudflare Robot Cops interrupt the proceedings. If I were rapidly re-entering criteria and tapping the Enter/Return key…

@Mattches March 19, 2025 Wednesday Seemed to be fixed back in February, but since . . . I get the following when using Brave Search Engine Operators such as: news site:ie [image]

Captcha - Getting a LOT of them

I do not encounter a CAPTCHA at https://www.metal-archives.com. I did encounter a Cloudflare hCAPTCHA routine at https://rateyourmusic.com . . . that Brave Browser could NOT satisfy. And I do not know how to get around that.

Captcha - Getting a LOT of them

The Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare hCAPTCHA (and other routines) that pop up and spoil the proceedings, are frustrating. I do what I can, 1st with my preferred Internet browser: Brave Browser (“BB”). When that (I did what I could with BB) does not succeed, and I need to connect / sign-in, my 2nd choice is to use Firefox, and after that fails, my 3rd choice is to use Microsoft Edge. In all such cases, I try to avoid using Google Chrome ← that Great Sucking Sound that tries to vacuum up all pe…

ahh a lot of people complaining about this, but the main problem of this captcha is DoH or not? cuz my brave search are fine without DoH

@Davidhench

DNS over HTTPS (what you call “DoH”) does not seem to be what causes Cloudflare to kick in, with Cloudflare’s hCAPTCHA.

[Davidhench]

@289wk mine only appear captcha when using DoH whenever DoH is cloudflare, nextdns or opendns still appear that captcha but seem like that captcha gone when disabling DoH

edit: ah nvm, restarting my pc then enbaling DoH again (nextDNS) and captcha no longer appear again at least for now, dunno in the future.
i hope staff can fix this issue

Do not know what happened to DNS over HTTPS for iOS:

Secure DNS (DoH) on IOS

[Davidhench]

well the problem of brave captcha isn’t from DoH i guess.
so there no official answers to fix this captcha?
