Why did they do this? Well, CAPTCHAs are those puzzles you see on websites that prove you're not a robot. Proton didn't like the existing options, so they made their own. They wanted one that respects your privacy, is easy to use, and keeps you secure.
CAPTCHAs are helpful, but they can be annoying. Proton, like Apple and Cloudflare, wanted to find a better way to tell humans from bots without bothering users with tricky puzzles.

There's also a privacy concern. Some CAPTCHA services, like Google's, collect data about your device and software. That's not good for a company like Proton, which focuses on privacy.
In the past, Proton used other CAPTCHA services, which some users didn't like. So, they decided to build their own, even though it was a lot of work.

Their new CAPTCHA, called Proton CAPTCHA, is special because it mixes different types of challenges. It can show you a visual puzzle or a computational one, depending on your device. If it thinks something is fishy, it makes the challenge harder.
Proton also made CAPTCHAs more fun with interactive puzzles and animations. Plus, it works in countries where the internet is censored, like Iran and Russia, using something called "alternative routing."

By making their own CAPTCHA, Proton solved the problems of existing ones and set a new standard for privacy-friendly CAPTCHA tech. Proton CAPTCHA is the first of its kind, built to resist censorship and protect your online privacy.
