I vastly prefer hCaptcha to recaptcha because it doesn't treat me any differently just because I'm using Tor. Recently (last year or so), Google has started to explicitly refuse service to me when I use Tor (only after forcing me to solve a CAPTCHA for 3 minutes).
Question for dang -- why does HN continue to use recaptcha? It's impossible to signup via Tor, and Google is a user hostile company.
One thing I will note, is that hcaptcha seems to be more loose in what answers it accepts. Sometimes I click random images and it still lets me pass.
