The title mentions reCAPTCHA v3 but then the article goes on to rant about the challenges you have to solve. reCAPTCHA v3 is completely automatic, there are no challenges at all. Of course, it's not perfect either, because occasionally actual humans fail the challenge too.

Yeah, if you're signed into Chrome and Google has enough information to know who you are (yes, I know the new one is score-based…this just means that anyone who isn't the above is going to get a poor score and be blocked.)

You can actually set the minimum score requirements to whatever you want. The default is 0.5, but there's nothing stopping you setting it to 0.0 and letting everyone through.

Can you set it to only allow people with score < 0.5?

No, I'm not joking.

The challenge is looking at your privacy and deciding it's not worth a few seconds clicking on store fronts
