does anyone know of any alternatives to turnstile that aren't useless (altcha), don't cost like rent in san francisco (hcaptcha/recaptcha), and also don't fingerprint people for advertising purposes (recaptcha)?
i don't know of any and i doubt they exist at all
people keep saying that there are alternatives that are "better" but i can't find any that would work for cobalt considering the traffic (a lot) and budget (almost nothing) we have
vast majority of unsolved challenges are spam requests, cloudflare turnstile does a very good job

you know how apple is "extremely strict" about what gets on app store and what doesn't? i guess it doesn't apply to literal trojan horse apps that pretend to be one app and switch up to a completely different one inside it
sanctioned russian banks use this all the time! 🧵
recently sber released yet another mock app that pretended to be a lending tracking app, which shortly got taken down
it pretends to be a lending app only in western countries (left), but if your ip is detected as russian, it lets you into the real part of the app (right)
