What is Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA?

Imagine Cloudflare Turnstile as a velvet rope at a club. It’s designed to block bots while letting humans through smoothly. Unlike traditional CAPTCHAs, it’s invisible—no clicking traffic lights. But for automation, it’s a headache.
Why Use Capsolver’s Extension?
- Zero Manual Solving: Let the extension handle the “human checks.”
- Works with Puppeteer/Playwright: Perfect for automated scripts.
- Cloudflare-Specific: Targets Turnstile CAPTCHAs head-on.

For Chrome Users:
- Go to the Chrome Web Store.
- Click Add to Chrome – done in 10 seconds.
For Firefox Fans:
