I’ve actually noticed this in some websites the past ~two months. It’s neat to have a captcha that finally doesn’t need slowly clicking images to pass through.

    Bots definitely can check a box, and they can even mimic the erratic path of human mouse movement

    Damn I didn’t know that was being tracked too

      Have you ever clicked a captcha and it’s just checked itself off for you?

      That’s because your page use behaviour looked human enough it wasn’t worth the robot test

          Yes your browser tracks all of this, movement, hover, clicks etc. It’s how pages are able to respond to various mouse gestures.
