Comment (by nullius):
Suggestion: Instead of using some ''ad hoc'' “pass” scheme to distinguish
“good” from “bad” traffic, Cloudflare and Tor Browser should both
implement an Internet Standard, [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3514 RFC
3514]. If Tor Browser may consider implementing such a feature, should I
open a new bug for this?
N.b. that this suggested implementation does not ''eliminate'' CAPTCHAs.
Rather, it turns so-called “challenges” into an in-browser currency whilst
snookering the user into serving as a [https://xkcd.com/1897/ mechanical
Turk]. Thus, it is perhaps the worst form of micropayments ever
conceived. As a more general issue, users should be educated on the
current market value of their time and “Attention Required!” attention
performing mind-numbingly boring tasks on behalf of computers: The new
masters, whom humans are hatched to serve.
