Quite frankly no one should be using captchas at all. They are mostly pointless, and AI's have reached the point of being able to solve them. It's mostly just a gratis thing at this point... The illusion of trust and safety, probably for both users and providers.

Considering Purism is running a pump and dump scam with their phone, I wouldn't grace them or their website with a single cent. There are worse things than a potential privacy issue...
It's likely something out of their control. I imagine their payment processor either uses it, or requires the site to use it. Mostly to combat automated fraud.
You likely won't find any site, that has online shopping, that doesn't use some sort of way to gatekeep against this behavior, unless it's crypto-based. And even then it likely still has something like that. Even if the site redirects to Paypal, you're gonna face that.
Your approach simply isn't realistic to the modern web. You can try uBlock, but blocking those connections likely will make the site ultimately not work for you.
Good bot!
Fairphone brings a much better device to market with better cameras, a better screen, likely a better chip, open hardware specifications and modularity, a completely unlockable bootloader (with likely support for CalyxOS and other ROM's shortly), and up to 8 years of software support(!), but people say they won't get it because no headphone jack...
MFW people have their priorities extremely mixed up... That's been the world now for 6 years, it's time to get over it. Letting perfect be the enemy of good is how you decide to throwaway something as good as what Fairphone seems to be offering. Sony still offers Android devices with headphone jacks, just don't be upset if you don't get another Android version pushed to your device.
Because it's just a proxy for Bing, with all the pitfalls of that.
Lots of that going around for stuff like this.
Imagine if someone had said something like this about the 1st generation iPhone... Oh wait, that did happen and his name was Steve Ballmer.
Huh, this might be one of the few examples of "don't break userspace" not being held to by Linus and co? I'm sure stuff like this has happened before, but "don't break userspace" has been a fairly strong guiding principle for the kernel for sometime. So seeing something like this happen is actually a bit surprising.
Though I guess it could be argued that if the removal of fTPM causes fewer bugs/issues than leaving it in place then userspace wasn't broken. But still, it's interesting to see regardless.
Good bot!
Also, I'd argue this is a good step forward for Suse, as it will take a lot of shareholder pressure off of them.

Could be it's a requirements for their payment processor, and details like that aren't something you talk openly about freely.
Also, you will have sites that u lock will break beyond repair, so try is the correct word. I know this well from using Brave, which is even less than uBlock does, and even then some sites are still broken and requires the shields turned off. Just an unfortunate reality with today's web.
