IDK. I run Firefox on many OSes, everywhere with uMatrix that blocks known trackers, ad networks and such. I don't see most ads (if any).

I rarely see the "I am not a robot" box, and hasn't seen image recognition tasks for a long-long time.

That also heavily depends on what kind of/which sites you visit.

"that also depends if you have something to hide" was said of every police state and censorship scheme.

if you were really blocking all trackers, Captcha would even work. Firefox help page for their new tracker blocking feature says so even.

They're on a lot of sites that I frequent.
