That suggests that a read only version of these websites without a captcha
or token of any kind would perfectly fit your use case.

Interactivity is nice, but I've conditioned myself over the years to treat
most things through TOR as read-only, and that I can't even do that lately
for the most benign things is frustrating. It would be nice to have
options, but at this point, I'd really just like functional basics.
Right - would you consider the read only version as a default, where to
say, POST, you'd *then* have to solve a captcha as a reasonable default?
