I started using this awesome app by collecting some links (i am currently serching for a specific product). Some links are e.g. from Etsy but hoarder fails to get an image because etsy wants to know whether hoarder is a robot :D

This is a cat and mouse game, which can not be won. The whole point is to keep robots out, so if you try to avoid it, it will just mean that they will improve as well. |

Ah, expected that :) A "get image from browser" (via extension) sounds great though :) |

There was an idea to allow capturing the data from the browser extension instead, so even if you would be detected as a robot, you can simply finish the CAPTCHA and still capture data.
