- Rated 1 out of 5by Wizardling, 4 days agoCompletely broken. The cloudflare captcha fails with an error on the freaking pp-attester-turnstile.research.cloudflare.com/challenge page, as well as endless looping on the sites I want to visit.

- Rated 1 out of 5by JaySee, 10 days agoMakes a bad problem WORSE! It pops up a window to do a captcha for a token, but I still have to do the captcha on the site anyways. People try this because site owners keep their Cloudflare protection too high. This does nothing to bypass that.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Dusk Sarsis, 19 days agoIneffective. It not only just has me complete the same captcha, it then returns me to the page with the issue, and does not actually complete the captcha on the page I need to complete it on. That page gives me an error every time I try, and this was a waste of time.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Anonymous, 8 months agoThis garbage does NOT work; there is even an issue open about this bug since December 2024.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16957737, 10 months agoI tested it but it made the problem worst.
With uBlock enabled, it gets in a loop in forwarding me to the attesting page. (I go back to the desired page, and it reopens the attesting page)
If I disable uBlock, I get an error in the captcha.
So my only option is to disable this "privacy pass" plugin. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17049414, a year ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Jet Girl, a year agoUseless. Took me to a page with a Cloudflare humanity check to proceed. The exact flerfing problem I was trying to fix. Cloudflare needs to fix their shit.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Manfredi, a year agoPointless addon, it just doesn't work. I've tried it for months. Right now I'm trying to access a website from almost half an hour, the page keeps on saying "just a moment" while reloading itself againg and again. A nightmare. Fuck Cloudshare
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14735936, a year agoNo longer works - now the interactive challenge shows "FAILURE!"
Not worth the bandwidth to download! - Rated 1 out of 5by rhokstar, a year agoI've been using Privacy Pass to help reduce CAPTCHAs, but a recent update has introduced some concerning behavior that potential users should be aware of.
Pros:
- Can help reduce CAPTCHAs on some websites
- Open-source and maintained by Cloudflare
Cons:
- Recently started opening new tabs without user permission
- Asks for "attester" verification in an intrusive manner
- Interrupts browsing experience unexpectedly
The extension now opens a new tab without warning, asking users to verify an "attester." While this might be intended to improve transparency, the implementation is disruptive and feels like a violation of user control. This behavior seems to go against Firefox's add-on policies regarding unexpected actions and user experience. It's particularly concerning for an extension that's supposed to improve browsing, not interrupt it. I've reported this to Mozilla for review. In the meantime, users should be aware of this intrusive behavior before installing. If you value a smooth browsing experience without unexpected interruptions, you might want to consider alternatives or wait for this issue to be addressed. I hope the developers can find a less disruptive way to implement their verification process. Until then, I can't recommend this extension. - Rated 1 out of 5by James E. LaBarre, 2 years agoInstalled on Firefox, and the extension *****CANNOT***** be enabled. It's just as broken as Cloudflare itself. This extension CLAIMS to be able to stop the perpetual "Verify you are human" loop, but obviously their programming of the extension is just as shoddy as their filtering site. Verify I'm Human???? Cloudflare doesn't even have humans to answer how to FIX their BROKEN system.

- Rated 1 out of 5by user 0928524114, 2 years agoNot working even after latest update. New tab opens as shown on screenshot, sometimes fails to verify. Even if the new tab verifies, I have to verify once again on the site that requested it. So that's solving waiting two captchas each time to load and verify. The next time same story! What's the point then? Solving twice the amount of captchas and not even earning tickets for next captcha relief? No thanks. Useless addon made to waste users time.
