i encountered this for the first time today while attempting to read something on archive.today.

i confirmed that decoding the qrcode using a computer and following the URL it contains is insufficient; the error it gave directed me here which is what the linked screenshot is of.

the old type of captcha remains available too, for now:

    Is an android emulator able to bypass this? Just curious - I haven’t started the degoogle process.

      I would guess not, given the other recent news about degoogled Android devices also being unable to pass reCAPTCHA.
