Captcha Bypass Copilot

Auto-clear human-verification walls and cache passes for readers who keep getting blocked

Problem

Click a link from HN and every other site demands a puzzle, a checkbox, or worse: Cloudflare gates half the pages, other sites run browser-side proof-of-work, and Google makes you pick crosswalks—reading gets interrupted over and over.

Solution

A browser extension that detects human-verification pages, automatically attempts passive checks such as managed challenges, and caches the resulting pass cookies per site so repeat visits sail through; interactive captchas get an unobtrusive side prompt instead of a blocking modal.

Users

Developers, researchers and information workers who read English tech content heavily

MVP

Detect common verification page signatures; auto-wait and trigger managed checks; cache and reuse pass cookies by domain; per-site toggle and allow/block lists

Revenue

Free extension; paid tier adds cross-device cookie sync and team policy config, or a one-time lifetime license

Why now

The bot-vs-anti-bot arms race is increasingly punishing normal readers, yet no reader-centric de-friction tool exists—an extension is lightweight and needs no backend
