a new kind of captcha.. "press and hold". i guess the single
"click if you are human" has been foiled.

Hmmm, indeed, it fooled me. :-( ;-)

Maybe you are blocking too much at the ibb.co site?

But, I was just posting an image of the captcha prompt/system
to illustrate what I encountered.

The actual site that triggered the captcha was
https://www.caranddriver.com/ ..to a specific article. It
doesn't seem to be doing that anymore right now. Maybe the
cookie system remembers me now.

I clicked around a bit, but can't trigger it either...

OK.. here's what I think has happened. I was reading a
newsletter that ultimately would steer me to a story/site.
But, before it did that, it would go through some intermediary
(for tracking purposes?) ..that's were the captcha would
appear, and THEN take me to the caranddriver article.

But I don't have the original newsletter with the initial
synopis of the stories and links anymore.

I'd swear that when I was poking around the caranddriver site,
the same press'n'hold showed up a couple more times.

Anyway.. it seems that the standard click-here-with-a-check-
mark type captchas can be fooled with automation. And this
"press'n'hold" strategy is away to foil that?
