Dang. I didn’t realize recapcha depended on being logged in. Dark pattern.

They also punish you for blocking cookies, using first party isolation, fingerprinting resistance, etc. ReCaptcha v2 operates much like ReCaptcha v3 (which does away with the question/answer interrogation entirely) without telling users it works that way. v2 will frequently reject correct answers just to punish users who aren't sucking up to the Google surveillance system.

Is this related to the Google account? Because since switching to firefox and everything not-google I have been constantly harrassed by recaptcha everywhere.

I think it's mostly the google account (and not blocking access to its cookies), but (as an FF user) I feel that just being on FF instead of Chrome is also a strike against you.

> Is this related to the Google account?

It seems so. That's not the only factor but it seems to be strong one.

neat, now we have a test for our anti-google privacy efforts. multiple captcha, good for you! no captcha, not so good...

(in most cases, i just close the tab if i get a captcha challenge-i’m sick and tired of the tracking)
