Don't forget the bonus: all your forum accounts can be linked to your google account, just in case you didn't use your gmail as the email address.

That's what really kills me here. This is lock-in at least as bad as the Equifax situation.

Self-destructing cookies is a solution

Not if Google has collected enough other identifying information about you to determine whether or not you're a robot.

But I'm kinda hoping that the reason I keep having to identify cars and store fronts is that my refusal of third-party cookies is causing them to have no idea who I am. But that might be the optimistic view.

In any case, I wouldn't mind if sites stopped using recaptcha.
