Cloudflare is working with the makers of Chrome, Edge, and Firefox on a new way for websites to tell whether incoming traffic is legitimate – without resorting to the usual mix of CAPTCHAs, logins, and extra tracking.

The system is called Private Access Control Tokens, or PACT, and it arrives at a time when bots have surpassed human traffic online.

I had to solve two captchas last time I tried ordering groceries online.

I'm just going back to cash.

All of this "artificial intelligence security" just gets in the way of basic legal transactions, but all the yes men running it are too spineless to tell their bosses and shareholders how much money they're losing.

I keep getting fraud alerts and having to sooth my bank account into permitting my groceries. You'd think after the 20th time on the same day with the same price they'd stop flagging my groceries.

Why would a grocery... wait... people are having agents order groceries and its causing problems aren't they?

I think it was ddos protection. I have bookmarks for stuff I order regularly and I open a bunch at the same time.
