How many fucking times do I need to put the damn circle into the other circle until you believe I’m not a fucking computer??? EVERY time I search- not some, not many, not most, EVERY time I try to search for something I have to play the damn circle because you weren’t convinced the last 8 times I put the damn circle in the circle! How about a feature where I prove I am not a fucking computer once a day or even once an hour instead of once every damn time I try to search for something?

I agree it’s too much. I’m back to Qwant for now until this goes away.

I visited the Brave Search Engine website: ‘https://search.brave.com’
No need to verify human status. But I have run across the issue you wrote about, on previous occasions for a few other websites.
Yet, on such occasions, I only had to run thru the circle chaser, once.
I was wondering, how are you using the Brave Search Engine website?

I can’t speak for the OP but for me, no different than usual. It just started happening a day or two ago and it was happening every other time I opened a page. I often right click and open links in a new tab so maybe that’s causing me to get it excessively? Or that I have Brave Browser set to wipe on exit?
Qwant sadly have changed their design to a primary school intranet look so guess I’ll stick with Brave. Hope this gets fixed soon though, it’s pretty annoying.
Yep the captcha is terrible, I just had to do it 12 times in a row
Could be caused by my VPN?
Idk, but I’m going back to G**gle as my default search engine until this is improved

nice to see this hasnt been fixed in YEARS!!!
Brave has engaged the services of Cloudflare, and that includes Cloudflare’s (infamous?) hCAPTCHA plus other routines that can frustrate and obstruct:
- access to
- proceeding thru
Brave Search Engine usage, in addition to some other brave.com webpages / websites.
IF I use a Brave Search Engine Operator such as site:ie in addition to a search criteria of news . . . when searching for news in Ireland (country code: ie), the infernal Cloudflare Robot Cops intervene; example:
Basically, Brave-Cloudflare “thinks” that:
using Brave Browser + using Brave Search + using Brave Search Engine Operators = ROBOT
Also, I am not at all satisfied that Cloudflare’s “VERIFYING” is NOT an invasion of privacy.
Given that, my primary purpose for using Brave Browser, is Brave’s much-proclaimed “Privacy & Security”.
LITERALLY MINUTES after i complained about the captcha problem i can’t use brave anymore because of the captcha not working. these people are evil! no wonder everyone hates brave! lesson learned!
