    a new kind of captcha.. "press and hold". i guess the single

    "click if you are human" has been foiled.

    Maybe you are blocking too much at the ibb.co site?



    But, I was just posting an image of the captcha prompt/system

    to illustrate what I encountered.



    The actual site that triggered the captcha was

    https://www.caranddriver.com/ ..to a specific article. It

    doesn't seem to be doing that anymore right now. Maybe the

    cookie system remembers me now.

    I clicked around a bit, but can't trigger it either...

    OK.. here's what I think has happened. I was reading a

    newsletter that ultimately would steer me to a story/site.

    But, before it did that, it would go through some intermediary

    (for tracking purposes?) ..that's were the captcha would

    appear, and THEN take me to the caranddriver article.



    But I don't have the original newsletter with the initial

    synopis of the stories and links anymore.



    I'd swear that when I was poking around the caranddriver site,

    the same press'n'hold showed up a couple more times.



    Anyway.. it seems that the standard click-here-with-a-check-

    mark type captchas can be fooled with automation. And this

    "press'n'hold" strategy is away to foil that?

    Wow, that's a rough way to find out that while you thought you were human all

    this time, you're actually a robot. My condolences :D

    i dont use that site and that's the first place i've seen that.

    the click if you're human shit works via reading your cookies, doesn't it?

    i just used imgbb and I didn't get that capcha. so it must be due to something you are doing. ie your browser agent,etc
