What about clicking a checkbox means I'm human? How does Cloudflare determine I'm human from that?

The simplicity of it is logic defying. It used to be that you had to find crosswalks or move puzzle pieces or type blurred letters and numbers, but NOW all the sudden I can just click a box and HEY!, I'm human?
That's hardly the Turing Test I'd expected.
I've recently noticed the same thing with cloudflare and Google captchas while using a VPN. I just use Bing instead while on the VPN because I never get past the Google captchas, or at least I give up after 2 or 3.
It also seems like the resolution of the browser has some impact with cloudflare. If I open a browser window in the corner of the screen, I'm basically guaranteed to get more cloudflare captchas, but if I open it full screen I only get one, maybe two.
That's interesting. If you run a browser full screen they can get your screen resolution as part of fingerprinting you; that's why LibreWolf and Tor Browser have their letterboxing features. So they just don't like browser users who take actions to improve their privacy, huh
