The question is about an alternative to reCAPTCHA. Both methods use JavaScript. I do understand where you are coming from though. And I also think this alternative is better in this regard. reCAPTCHA loads JavaScript from a third-party domain. With JavaScript spamfilters you are loading them from the first-party domain.

reCaptcha has a noscript alternative with iframes and checkboxes. Once completed you have to manually copy an authorisation string to a field and submit it.

I don't think the noscript alternative works anymore. I get this message "Please enable JavaScript to get a reCAPTCHA challenge."

Huh, last time I hit a cloudflare website on Tor it directed me to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/fallback?k=...

Perhaps that's just a cloudflare thing.

That I didn't know. I don't remember ever seeing it, I suppose it is not used much?
