If running on a Linux server, `uc_gui_handle_captcha()` might not be good enough. Switch to `uc_gui_click_captcha()` to be more stealthy. Note that these methods auto-detect between CF Turnstile and Google reCAPTCHA.
Sometimes you need to add `incognito=True` with `uc=True` to maximize your anti-detection abilities. (Some websites can detect you if you don't do that.)

👤 On Linux, you may need to use `driver.uc_gui_click_captcha()` to successfully bypass a Cloudflare CAPTCHA. If there's more than one Cloudflare iframe on that website, then put the CSS Selector of an element that's above the iframe as the first arg to `driver.uc_gui_click_captcha()`. This method uses `pyautogui`. In order for `pyautogui` to focus on the correct element, use `xvfb=True` / `--xvfb` to activate a special virtual display on Linux.

👤 `driver.uc_gui_click_captcha()` auto-detects the CAPTCHA type before trying to click it. This is a generic method for both CF Turnstile and Google reCAPTCHA. It will use the code from `uc_gui_click_cf()` and `uc_gui_click_rc()` as needed.

👤 `driver.uc_gui_click_cf(frame="iframe", retry=False, blind=False)` has three args. (All optional). The first one, `frame`, lets you specify the iframe in case the CAPTCHA is not located in the first iframe on the page. The second one, `retry`, lets you retry the click after reloading the page if the first one didn't work (and a CAPTCHA is still present after the page reload). The third arg, `blind`, will retry after a page reload (if the first click failed) by clicking at the last known coordinates of the CAPTCHA checkbox without confirming first with Selenium that a CAPTCHA is still on the page.

👤 `driver.uc_gui_click_rc(frame="iframe", retry=False, blind=False)` is for reCAPTCHA. This may only work a few times before not working anymore... not because Selenium was detected, but because reCAPTCHA uses advanced AI to detect unusual activity, unlike the CF Turnstile, which only uses basic detection.
