I've actually noticed this in some websites the past ~two months. It's neat to have a captcha that finally doesn't need slowly clicking images to pass through.

But how it works? I don't see any explanation on the post nor CF web site. It looks magical.

For Turnstile, the actual act of checking a box isn’t important, it’s the background data we’re analyzing while the box is checked that matters. We find and stop bots by running a series of in-browser tests, checking browser characteristics, native browser APIs, and asking the browser to pass lightweight tests (ex: proof-of-work tests, proof-of-space tests) to prove that it’s an actual browser.

But…. Lots of bots are made with RPAs …. With actual browsers , interface emulating human interaction. Sounds like a response to https://proton.me/blog/proton-captcha
