User reviews
I tested it but it made the problem worst.
With uBlock enabled, it gets in a loop in forwarding me to the attesting page. (I go back to the desired page, and it reopens the attesting page)
If I disable uBlock, I get an error in the captcha.
So my only option is to disable this "privacy pass" plugin.
