Turnstile has become a frequent barrier on sites that want to deter bots without traditional image puzzles. CapSkip solves Turnstile on your machine within seconds, covering the challenge modes. If you run automation that keep hitting Turnstile, this takes away a major roadblock.

Within reason, CAPTCHA solving powers valid use cases like testing, accessibility, and permitted scraping. It is wise honoring a site's terms and applicable law; used that way, a good solver is a productivity tool.

A Selenium setup is a staple for browser automation, and CapSkip drops right in. Your your driver logic as is and delegate the CAPTCHA to CapSkip when one appears, so the session continues without human steps.
