   Mixed feelings

   We used their DC proxies and Residential proxies. Resi proxies were having quite low success rate. We had to use resi solution from other proxy providers. Unblocker didn't work well either also it was way too expensive.

   🏁 Competitors: Decodo, NetNut.io

   👍 Pros:    Cheap dc proxies

   👎 Cons:    Quite expensive|Residential proxies are worse than competitiors

• I was banned from the hCaptcha accessibility account for not being blind

  I am also blind. Hcaptcha is the worst. Their stupid cookie expires so I have to go through their getting an email to set the cookie almost every time I encounter one. It's a horrendous UX, especially when using different devices and browsers. I imagine others just give up instead of dealing with the crap. They shouldn't use the word accessibility when their whole service is the exact opposite. The bots can... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Buster: Captcha Solver for Humans

  For example https://2captcha.com/ https://anti-captcha.com/ https://www.capsolver.com/ https://deathbycaptcha.com/ https://nextcaptcha.com/ seems like about $1 for 1000 solutions I suspect these businesses do a first pass of ML in case the captcha is easy, before sending it to a human to be solved manually. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

  Bright Data has successfully defended web scraping in U.S. Courts and offers LinkedIn datasets pre-collected and ready to download.
