See how Qwant (a "privacy respecting" search engine) treats Tor users
Qwant sometimes hits Tor users with this puzzle after they submit a query. Then after solving the puzzle, they're brought back to an empty form so they must re-type their query.

Duckduckgo has started this too. Very annoying.
Edit: just realised this post was from 3 years ago... I don't know why this popped up lol.
Uhm... DuckDuckGo has worked and still works just fine in Tor for me?
Maybe I'm unlucky, but I've gotten quite a few captchas.
Are you sure you aren't on an old static exit node or guard node? Try refreshing your state file.
You’re ducking wrong then; just use DDG’s onion page if you’re searching within TOR. No exit node then.
Going to do this from now on, but I have only gotten 4-5 captchas in total, so nothing much to worry about imo.
I've started to notice several old posts are now doing that. I wonder if its a bug

Aha. Got you. You’re a bot.
My mom ever told me. This human/bot dysphoria is causing me some very conflicting emotions.
Shit, so am i.
Edit: maybe the space around the squares is the unique shape? Since there's only one of those, but the squares aren't unique.
Edit 2: maybe the three squares count as one unique symbol?
This is the second post under "hot" on my home tab BTW.
