every 25 hits u have to do a captcha to prove you're human. I'm guessing stax kept trying to collect hits when there was a captcha... and maybe people got in trouble for that?

idk, I've had easy auto refresh do that on captchas before I had masters and I never got in trouble
I dunno I don't really want to use an extension that has gotten accounts banned, even if they fixed it
I'm aware of some paid ones with autoaccept that seem to be fine

Hey, I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong. If people were getting banned for the captcha issues, then yea I guess its not a good idea to use stax for that reason.

from my experience its helped a lot since I don't have to do captchas.

Honestly it's totally up to you, it seems like there's a bunch of monkeys running Mturk so they could change their minds anytime and consider something breaking the TOS when it was fine for years.

lotta people working with 17+ inch screens. it doesn't even need to be that big to be effective. I'm actually glad mine isn't that big.
I like to work with a $50 chromebook laptop with linux on it that I just walk around with

But desktop working is a lot more efficient

I use a 27" and 24" on my desk and still bring in my 15.6" laptop for some stuff. I like things spread out and organized or I get all anxious like.
Multiple Screens are the way to go. I used frown upon people with multiple screens, but workflow and productivity gain is real.

It really does make a HUGE difference! I have my trackers on one monitor, turk screen on main monitor and then I have plenty of space to move. Added bonus, I can open a tab of a nature show on the second monitor and the cats stare at that instead of bugging me (okay, that's a pretty specific thing, but it really helps).

When I try to work on just my laptop everything feels squished and overwhelming after being used to the sprawl.
