      If the point is so websites can trust that you’re a person then the captchas aren’t needed.

        I don’t even trust that I’m a person sometimes.

        But how can it trust you’re a person when it just confirms that you’re running an in-modified site. It takes a hash of the site, then make sure your local view of the website matches that hash.

        This disables add blockers, custom css, etc; but I don’t see how this standard would prevent bots…

          It’s not just checking that you’re running in an un-modified OS, that’s just one part of it.

          It doesn’t disable ad-blockers or custom css btw. And anyway, websites can already detect when you’re using an ad-blocker and not show you their content. This isn’t needed for that.
