If you make zero attempts toward privacy maybe. Just turn on a commercial VPN or Tor and you'll find that your quality of life can quickly become severely damaged by captchas. I cant even do a Google search without a captcha so I started using Mullvad Leta as a proxy.
- cinntaile 3y agoI block ads and stuff but you're right that I don't use VPNs or Tor. A lot of bots also use VPNs and Tor so captchas being a pain in the ass is probably working as intended, that way most people won't bother using services like that? This is different from regular internet users, there is no reason to make their life more difficult than necessary.
- _ache_ 3y agoI can confirm. uBlockO, PrivacyBadger, Firefox without any kind of memory and you will get CAPTCHA from time to time, maybe not every day but it's common. IPv6, 3G/4G/5G or public Wifi can increase that to about every 10 queries on Google for a CAPTCHA. I guess VPN too increase the probability to get a CAPTCHA.
