We all have been quite quite frustrated at times. We understand the Security measures but Going through CAPTCHAs can be time-consuming and annoying. I always opt for the better features to skip this repetitive process. In the dynamic and ever-progressing realm of technology, Microsoft has once again established an unprecedented standard through its ingenious methodology aimed at elevating the user encounter. The advent of “Microsoft Edge Captcha: No more on Android” evokes a breath of solace for Android users.
This is not the first time we have been given these features, there are already different techniques on browser extensions (2Captcha, Anti-Captcha, CaptchaBreaker, and many more). Not only that using a VPN or proxy server helps auto-skip CAPTCHAs.
But some of the factors including type of CAPTCHA, browsers might auto-skip CAPTCHAs. They still lack giving seamless experience for the users and fail occasionally.

Google Chrome recently introduced the auto-verify CAPTCHAs feature and now Microsoft’s investment in the Android version is a positive development. This really shows that Microsoft is committed to the platform.
I hope with these new features on Browsers, we can say goodbye to CAPTCHAs forever. That’s right, No more Microsoft captcha on Android
As you all know, I like to dig as deep as possible to understand the working mechanism. I have summarized the important highlights for you so have a look at this.
How does auto-verify CAPTCHA work?
Auto-skip captcha allows users to skip CAPTCHAs on websites enhancing user experience. This auto-verify feature really helps not only provide seamless user activity on websites with ease of access but also provides security intact.
Analyze the end user’s behavior
The factor includes the time they spend on the page, the websites they have visited to how user move their mouse.
The browser only stores the hash (both a value and a function) of the user’s IP address and the websites to track their behavior.
The browser basically uses a Machine learning model which is trained on a dataset to identify the patterns of bots and humans.
Finally, if the browser is confident that the user is human then it automatically auto-skip the CAPTCHA.
I hope this really helps you with the basic working mechanism of auto-verify CAPTCHA.
