I think at the absolute worst I've spent almost 10 minutes painstakingly walking through successive google CAPTCHAs before just giving up. The modern web is basically openly hostile to anonymity (or pseudo anonymity). That's one of those genies I don't see any way of putting back in the bottle : the privacy conscious consumer is just too small to matter at any kind of scale. They end up relegated to a niche set of tools and services (which ironically enough presents a neatly encapsulated attack surface for any malicious actors who might be interested in targeting these users). Ultimately it may all be moot : we're slowly moving towards the point - still years or decades off, admittedly - when effective de-anonymization of the public internet will become a reality. For better or worse, I guess.
