Qwant sometimes hits Tor users with this puzzle after they submit a query. Then after solving the puzzle, they're brought back to an empty form so they must re-type their query.

Duckduckgo has started this too. Very annoying.

Edit: just realised this post was from 3 years ago... I don't know why this popped up lol.

I've started to notice several old posts are now doing that. I wonder if its a bug

Uhm... DuckDuckGo has worked and still works just fine in Tor for me?

Maybe I'm unlucky, but I've gotten quite a few captchas.

Which one of those squares is supposed to be unique though? They all have a unique color, so maybe it doesn’t even matter which one you click?

Aha. Got you. You’re a bot.

My mom ever told me. This human/bot dysphoria is causing me some very conflicting emotions.

Shit, so am i.

Edit: maybe the space around the squares is the unique shape? Since there's only one of those, but the squares aren't unique.

Edit 2: maybe the three squares count as one unique symbol?
