What about clicking a checkbox means I'm human? How does Cloudflare determine I'm human from that?

The simplicity of it is logic defying. It used to be that you had to find crosswalks or move puzzle pieces or type blurred letters and numbers, but NOW all the sudden I can just click a box and HEY!, I'm human?
That's hardly the Turing Test I'd expected.
I've learned from these that I must definitely move my mouse like a robot since it always asks me to do more puzzles afterwards. This is even if I try jiggling it around after clicking just to try and convince it.
Could also be browser settings. I often get infinite captcha'd on private Firefox tabs
Yeah this is my experience as well. I don't have much technical knowledge about it, but Firefox with ublock seems to be the enemy of captcha and CloudFlare
This is really interesting... Can you elaborate? I've never one had a follow up to the check mark.
I use a high dpi mouse, what do you use?
Spoiler: I think resolution matters here. The top comment is wrong, if anyone cares enough to take notice...
Cheapest Logitech mouse I could find in the supermarket about 6-7 years ago.
As others have said, it might be more to do with my browser choice, browser settings and extensions. That said I remember when I first started seeing these years ago that sometimes it'd think I was a robot and sometimes it wouldn't and maybe it was a placebo effect, but I felt fairly confident then that me jiggling the mouse really helped. Now it doesn't matter what I do. My natural movement, a deliberately wonky but still single and continuous movement or a totally artificial mouse wiggle after the clock, I'll always have to do captchas.
