In the meantime, can you post a link so that I can try it?

True, but there may be Safari extensions that are not covered by the Website Preferences icon.

There are three ways to control Safari's Website Preferences…
  1. The Develop Menu
  2. Website Preferences icon
  3. Safari Preferences > Website

They are all control the same Safari API and have the same scope of effect. If you change one that change will appear in both of the others. The advantage of using the website preferences icon is it automatically forces the page to reload.

The problem originally reared its ugly head on an eBay page which only erratically asks me to complete a Captcha. I've got no idea what its URL is.

I just ran into the problem again here. Curiously, though I hit "Submit" while the spinning thingy was still spinning and my message was apparently sent.

The icon drop-down specifically refers to content blockers, which suggests that other types of extensions are excluded from its functionality.

You are right — I was too focused on Content Blockers, but it is the content blockers that are most often the culprit or at least that has always worked for me.

The develop Menu is an all-or-nothing extension on-off for all sites while Safari > Preferences offers more nuanced control. Without the aid of the Develop Menu, Safari > Preferences > Extensions permits tuning off individual extensions including content blockers for all web sites and Safari > Preferences > Web sites permits site-by-site control of a wide variety of functions including permitting content blockers and other extensions.

Agreed...agreed..agreed.

Back to square one, it turns out that PayPal is the site with which I've got the problem.

In Safari, I see this, but I never get past the blue spinning thingy. In Firefox, I get right in without ever seeing a Captcha request.

I accessed that URL and sent a test message with no difficulty.

I had a problem with PayPal at Eddie Bauer (one time only). I paid via credit card instead. Subsequent orders from EB used PayPal with no issue. Go figure... confused

Phooey! Lost a post for the first time in ages. frown

I figured out what my Captcha problem is/was...

The only extensions I run are Wipr and Roadblock, both of which are content blockers, so I was turning them off from my menu bar.

But I remembered that Wipr just added a new component, Wipr Extra, which, as it has turned out, doesn't get turned off with the content blockers.

Disabling it, either with command-E or by unchecking it in my pref pane, enables me to log in to PayPal as usual. (I haven't needed it since I installed it, so I'll leave it unchecked and hold it in reserve against possible future need.)

(The problem I ran into at Small Dog appears to be unrelated.)
