    I have a suspicion that it might depend on a few factors that might be related to Google’s ability to track, such as the browsers you use and whether you’re on VPN. I saw a post on Lemmy the other day (can’t remember where) that they suspect captcha is more annoying on Firefox, whereas fine with Chrominum-based browsers, esp Google Chrome. I think I sometimes experienced this as well, but I didn’t keep track.

      Yep when using a VPN I get way more captchas on Google web searches (regardless of browser).

      It makes it really annoying to search on Google, to the point I want to turn off my VPN or use other search engines.
