I’m not blind but I browse with images disabled. This means I can no longer login to Protonmail because they push CAPTCHAs. I know some CAPTCHAs have an audio option but I just get a blank box from Protonmail’s CAPTCHA. So I was wondering how blind people deal with that, or if they are simply excluded from using #Protonmail.
There’s an option to skip the captcha if you’re using a screen reader. They then use other heuristics to determine you’re a human. It didn’t work for me the first time, but then did. You may or may not be able to use it if you navigate with the keyboard.
Thanks for the tip!
Although it’s a tricky decision because if the server can detect that you use a screen reader, then your browser fingerprint uniqueness would increase quite a bit.
Are those heuristics low bandwidth or is audio involved?
I disable images because of bandwidth consumption. So I’m wondering if it makes sense to install a screen reader in my case.
