+# Noptcha, without affiliate link injection
+
+Noptcha is a reCaptcha and hCaptcha solving extension created by GPU Drops.
+
+This fork was made because I hate tracking stuff and I use an ad blocker (like you should on the modern internet) and also hate captchas, but I don't really want people over at GPU Drops to profit off me using their AI captcha solver.
+
+Unfortunately, I discovered that the extension redirects some websites to have affilate tracking codes. I have prettified the code, made some of it readable and removed such functionality.
+
+Most of the changes are in [background.js](background.js) and all tracking functionality _can_ be disabled by removing the `start()` call near the end of the file.
+
+None of the original code in here belongs to me.
+
+No warranty or guarantee is provided that this extension will function or be updated.
+
+[Original extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/noptcha-recaptcha-hcaptch/dknlfmjaanfblgfdfebhijalfmhmjjjo)
