43 G D it: ProtonMail includes Google Recaptcha for Login, every single time "As a project/company that was founded as an immediate response to the Snowden Leaks, which revealed that the Google PREFs cookie is literally how the NSA tracks users across the planet, I find this very absurd to see" (github.com) posted 2 years ago by ghost_of_aswartz 2 years ago by ghost_of_aswartz +45 / -2 9 comments share 9 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Sometimes the captcha is already filled for you and lets you through; that's the hidden iframe one; otherwise it shows the captcha in a challenge. Either way, it's contacting google, and telling google that you are there. Which is bullshit
This was two years ago. Has protonmail done anything to address this such as implement their own captcha interface or bot mitigation?
