I use Safari on a Mac with a simple ad blocker, but I use a lot of Google products, and I also get a captcha most of the time.

So perhaps it's Safari and/or the ad blocker that are to blame? Hard to say, though.

This is likely due to the new canvas fingerprinting protections introduced in iOS 12 and Safari for Mojave. Google's NHT analyzers probably don't take well to these measures that attempt to defeat canvas fingerprinting.
