we won't turn off bot protection in the foreseeable future, but you can try switching networks, clearing cookies, or using a different browser. we don't control cloudflare turnstile and unfortunately can't help much :(

Hi, i have this turnstile problem on my android/chrome too. I understand you can't prevent this but at least you can add option in settings to manual turnstile for bot prevention like this if you can.
Thanks

Turnstile is broken. Unless you think people are bots. In which case, your service is worthless to actual humans.

@HunterWesley it’s not broken! it works as intended. all suspicious clients don’t pass the captcha. from what i’ve seen before, if you’re using brave or any other browsers/extensions that break web apis or the regular flow of requests, then it might fail. we don’t control cloudflare turnstile, so we can’t do anything about the actual tests. we also can’t remove the captcha because else it’d allow for abuse of our processing instances that we host for everyone for free.

alternatively, you can host your own processing instance and put it into instance settings.

Is it possible that you might offer the option to configure alternative captcha options in place of Turnstile, which is often biased, for anyone who wants to host their own Cobalt instance? Like hCaptcha, mCaptcha, reCaptcha, and the like.
