I hate these captcha. You look at the picture, the edge of the traffic light or the motorcycle goes outside the box. You decide to click on the square where this tiny part of the image is and the message “This is incorrect!”.

Captcha without images from Cloudflare is even more infuriating. The so-called “Connection reliability check” takes quite a long time and this captcha appears often.

In my experience the least thorough interpretation seems to be the most accepted.

This is how I approach these: that square only has a single traffic light, not multiple traffic lights like the prompt is asking for

Most of the time, it works if you just select the 3 most fitting ones

It's actually checking your mouse movement to see if it looks natural or robotic. You can get a few wrong and it'll still pass you.

How does that work with touchscreens though? Since you arent dragging your mouse across the screen. Does it then fully fall back on the pictures?

It might fall back on the actual images in that instance. Captchas are a lot more advanced now. The ones where you just click “I am not a robot” use cookies to track your browser history and make sure it looks organic. Identifying images alone has gotten too easy.

Oh is that why there's no shift click ability?

in my experience, only click stuff if it mainly in that frame

One particularly violent site used a growing timer to reveal each next captcha. Downloading numerous files from there taught me not to care anymore.

That's the frame of the lights so no
