It doesn't have any significant effect in my experience. Maybe it's my browsing habits that I frequently visit a large number of sites that are new (think sites linked from HN).
Most of the services I use are not behind Buttflare. Various blogs linked from here often are, unfortunately (and people don't even change the default captcha settings when they have static blogs that don't ever need to prevent bots from visiting!) but privacy pass sometimes works.
Yes but if the BBC initiative starts spreading this might change in the future. No?
Major sites have been maintaining tor hidden endpoitns for some time now. For example:
What are the use cases for browsing Facebook through Tor? For me it sounds kind of like asking a prostitute for a hug.
People in countries with oppressive regimes that are not aligned with the US.
The emphasis was on "why Facebook", not "why Tor".
How is that?
Just about every site out there is on cloudflare these days and cloudflare has decided to consider every connection from a total exit point as suspicious activity. Hence you get a captcha for almost every site you visit. Eternally stuck in captcha hell...
