This is an infinite loop of CAPTCHAs for me. For all I know, they're trying to trick humans into doing CAPTCHAs for bots.
I’ve been seeing that also more and more with archive links. Nothing really out of the ordinary on my setup, ublock and Firefox. I’ll get dozens of captchas before i give up.
I get an infinite series of captchas with vanilla Firefox with no extensions or plugins at all. However, the archive site loads instantly on Vivaldi, a Chromium-based browser, on the same system. I wonder if their security setup has a bias against Firefox for some reason.
