I would love to see the raw data on how many transactions have been abandoned because of ReCaptcha; if I had to solve a test to purchase my shopping, I'd go elsewhere (and there are places that are not as hostile out there).

I cannot understand the stupidity of putting your entire business in the hands of an advertisement company who gives no shits about you as a business or a person, apart from your data.

I can say for certain ReCaptcha has made me reconsider a purchase and is a major factor in my purchasing decision. If I can't use all my privacy tools (including noscript, and I only whitelist a few times to get the right scripts), then I don't care about what you're selling.

Hopefully in the near future ReCaptcha breaks altogether due to enhanced privacy protection.
