Before filing a new bug, verify if your request is already being tracked by another issue here: https://github.com/privacypass/challenge-bypass-extension/issues.


If you believe that this is a new bug, please proceed to create an issue. The issue will be investigated after you have filled in the following information.

Describe the bug Clicking "Get more passes!" leads to a project description page instead of letting the user actually get more passes.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. "Get more passes!" for Cloudflare for the first time, complete captcha
  2. Do the same for hCaptcha, notice that the count decrements once for hCaptcha instead of giving more tokens
  3. Clear passes
  4. Attempt to access Cloudflare captcha.website
  5. Instead of visiting the actual captcha page, it instead redirects to a project description page.

Expected behavior The project description page should be a separate domain name altogether, with no redirection to prevent possible issues. captcha.website should only contain the Cloudflare captcha prompt, with nothing else. hCaptcha website should not be spending tokens, it should only grant new ones.

System (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 10, x86_64, v10.0.19041.508
  • Cloudflare bug, minor bug for hCaptcha website (spends a token instead of presenting challenge, if tokens are available)
  • Google Chrome
  • v85.0.4183.121 (stable)

Additional context The problem does not occur in incognito, where the extension is completely disabled (by visiting https://captcha.website directly). Clearing cookies does not fix the problem. Clearing passes does not fix the problem. Uninstalling and reinstalling fixes the problem, and ends up clearing all passes.

You can enable the extension in incognito mode by going to chrome://extensions and enabling it directly. This is an issue because captcha.website is just a standard CF website with the CAPTCHA always configured to be given. Configuring a website to always show the CAPTCHA prompt would require substantial work.

Clearing cookies does not fix the problem.

It does. What??

This is because you cannot clean cookies anymore from extensions. I vaguely remember something like that from our Chromium merge line. IMHO, should be fixable.

Uninstalling and reinstalling fixes the problem, and ends up clearing all passes.

This issue might be related to the conflict resolution of extensions. See this note.

@freerainboxbox Try the new version v3.0.4 and let us know if the same behaviour is observed.
