Use something else than Recaptcha for Kagifeedback.org signup

Grooty

Please use another captcha system than reCAPTCHA for the signup to KagiFeedback.org. reCAPTCHA is owned by Google and used to train an AI of theirs. If Kagi is as privacy focused as it claims, it shouldn't be using reCAPTCHA. I know we are probably talking about the lesser evil here, but still.

Grooty To make it a valid suggestion, please suggest what should we use.

Oops sorry. I think hCAPTCHA is the best option. link. It is independant and "privacy respecting"

another option I guess, could be to use your own captcha system, I don't how hard it would be to implement but I think that would be better.

Cloudflare just announced a new “privacy respecting” captcha, that I think could be a great alternative, alongside HCAPTCHA.

Grooty This requires all site traffic being routed through CloudFlare?

Grooty

Vlad I don't think so. From the link:

Anyone, anywhere on the Internet, who wants to replace CAPTCHA on their site will be able to call a simple API, without having to be a Cloudflare customer or sending traffic through the Cloudflare global network.

Grooty Thanks for the heads up. I agree this would be nice to have, but with so many other priorities with search itself and considering this being a low impact item (there is only one point of contact) this can take a while to implement.
