Brief Summary
Add privacy pass as a built in extension to bypass captchas

Details:
The Privacy Pass protocol provides a performant, application-layer mechanism for token creation and anonymous redemption. Servers (Issuers) create and later verify tokens that are redeemed by an ecosystem of clients, such that:

  • An Issuer cannot link a redeemed token to one of N previously created tokens using the same key with probability non-negligibly larger than 1/N.
  • Clients can verify that a token created by an Issuer corresponds to a committed keypair.
  • Tokens are unforgeable.
  • The token issuance and redemption mechanisms are efficient.

    Researching more, it appears it only works on hCaptcha and Cloudflare :/ Also it was reported on Discord that even at that it's not 100% of the time. Not sure if it's worth keeping as a suggestion in it's current state.

      if chrome's implementation later works really well and works for reCAPTCHA, then I think it would be a better time to consider it
