"Press and Hold"

I'm getting the "to prove your not a robot" message on every single page I see, and after holding the button down, a loading bar comes up but nothing happens, and then it just says "try again" and I have to press and hold again.

Even when I click on "is this happening to you frequently?  Please report it on our feedback forum" the page that loads ALSO requires me to press and hold before I could interact with the page and report the problem, but again they results in "try again"

i have to post this concern via my phone, as I apparently can no longer use the desktop version

There is another bad feature of this bug that I discovered - it runs about 12% CPU busy for EACH Press and Hold page and if multiple pages have this it brings the machine to a standstill!

Possibly related to refreshing multiple SA pages that are open.

I have never seen the press and hold error on the Android Chrome application though I do not have any kind of special Seeking Alpha application if that's what you're talking about. I do get the error on my Windows PC Chrome and Edge browsers all the time though.
