I get 401 errors all three time, because I use web browsers that don't leak enough personally identifiable information to prove that I'm not a robot.

I doubt you are regularly getting 401s because of this.

You don’t need PII to prove you are not a robot. See Privacy Pass. And I don’t know how a website is somehow going to verify your PII as not-fake, anyway.

Likely you just use a shit web browser.

How a website is going to identify your PI as non-fake? Isn't that the entire business model behind Persona which has been in the news for leaks? (There are a few websites I've had to verify my if I with them for)

the way to pass captcha as a bot is to pay off the company that makes the captcha by using their bot.

cloudflare browser run, superb. no captcha.

i have privacy pass and i really can't make it work.

every time there is a captcha it makes you authenticate. so it's the same thing as the captcha.

maybe i have it misconfigured
