No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA

Two days ago, we upgraded to the new reCAPTCHA API, dubbed the “No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA”.

The new API allows users determined to not be spambots to bypass typing a verification, giving them a CAPTCHA-less posting experience. Below you can see the change from our last full day using the old version of the API to our first full day using the new version:

On December 7th, 90% of solve attempts resulted in a pass, and 10% resulted in a fail. On December 9th, the first full day of the new version, 30% of solve attempts encountered no CAPTCHA at all, with the remainder being 64% pass and 6% fail.

We understand there have been a few hiccups for users using third-party extensions and unofficial apps, however we expect them to be updated soon. We hope that as reCAPTCHA tweaks their algorithm over time, more users will be able to take advantage of the CAPTCHA-less posting experience.
