What is Privacy Pass?
This extension provides unlinkable cryptographic tokens for websites that support the Privacy Pass protocol. For example, these tokens can be used on Cloudflare-protected websites to redeem a token instead of solving a CAPTCHA.
How it works?
Privacy Pass Providers: Cloudflare and hCaptcha
Get tokens
Click on the extension icon, and click on top of one of the providers. One page will open with a CAPTCHA to be solved. Solve successfully the CAPTCHA and the extenison will get some tokens.
Use tokens
When a page shows a CAPTCHA from one of the providers, if the extension has tokens, the browser uses a token to pass the provider's challenge without any interaction. Otherwise, the user must solve the CAPTCHA, which grants some tokens for future use.
Comments and Reviews
If you use a lot of privacy settings, such as Firefox fingerprint protection, you will end up getting more captcha. This helps mitigate that.
