Thank you for the list. Had a stupid solution for what you use Consent-O-Matic for, and LibRedirect closes a gap bugging me for a while. I had no chance to try Buster yet, but I'm so looking forward to let software solve something grinding my gears with things software can solve better than software thinks.

Buster is a twisted work of a twisted genius. it uses accessibility version of captcha, which is based on recorded speech that you're supposed to listen to and transcribe. it "plays" the audio silently, and uses speech recognition software to solve it.

for extra twistiness, you can actually set it up to use Google's own speech recognition API.

That's a bit like shoving their annoying puzzles up their own ~~arse~~ KI.
