| Jan 20, 2021 at 13:32 | comment | added | apsillers | @pipe Google's reCAPTCHA does a bunch of things (most of which I don't know or understand) to answer the question, "Is this web page loaded in a real web browser or inside a machine-controlled automated environment?" The Web rendering proxy (WRP) is an automated environment that just happens to be (ultimately) controlled by a human but is indistinguishable from an environment controlled by a bot. By clicking the imagemap, you give instructions to the WRP server about how to control the Web page, but as far as the captcha within the page knows, those instructions could be coming from a bot. | |
