I probably won't make changes in the near future, but I've been thinking about the captcha issue, and I wonder what people think about reCaptcha.

Where reCaptcha is used now, something is required, and AFAIK all other captcha services can be OCRed and are therefore useless. End-users often like SolveMedia, but those seem really easy to OCR. I actually really like the image classification approach on a theoretical level, though I hate relying on NSA-lite Google, and occasionally on Tor they throw you into some insane black hole of difficulty (though you can change your Tor exit to fix that).
I vote for this "I don't mind it too much mainly because they're not THAT difficult" but my only concern is that it is not supported with browsers like Operamini. I've been using Operamini browsers all the time on my mobile phone because it saves battery and data usage but the problem is I think that was way back August 2017 me and my friends are trying to access the forum but seems we need to answer the reCaptcha and we prefer SolveMedia because it is working on Operamini browsers. I also had an experience of like my Chrome browser keep on saying "Cannot contact reCaptcha". Hope we had a choice on which method we should use on loging in either SolveMedia or reCaptcha for our convenience.
