Thanks for recommending Buster (author here), but I think the right solution is to encourage people to stand up against Google's abuse, especially because they are working on making reCAPTCHA even more pervasive an inescapable.

The recommended way of integrating reCAPTCHA v3 is to load it on every page of your site, not just on pages with forms. Given the popularity of this service, reCAPTCHA v3 is set to become a browsing history and behavioral data collector on a global scale.

What is the rationale for recommending reCAPTCHA on every page of a site??

They want to monitor your behavior (mouse movements, clicks, etc) site-wide so they can determine whether you're a bot before you get to the "protected" page. So the carrot for the website owner is that people that don't want to solve "click all the stop signs in these 9 pictures" challenges don't abandon your forms because they're never challenged, at the expense of adding behavioral tracking site-wide.

So that they can watch your interactions with the site to confirm that you do it in a “normal” way, nevermind that this discriminates against those with disabilities.
