Re:Gmail marking email from me as spam

I was getting really long and annoying recaptcha all the time, presumably because I use Safari which has all that anti-tracking stuff. But lately (past 2-3 months?) I only get a single challenge, I wonder if they've found a way around the protection or if they've just changed the model

OMG, me too, and all I did was to tighten up cookies (disable 3rd party trackers, erase all cookies on close, etc).
Now I've got a PhD on solving "traffic light" and "crosswalk" Captchas as a result.
I started to resent Google for this, except now I think twice before going to a web site that will give me these hurdles, so it ended up helping me to focus on my work. Now I appreciate the extra work.
>Safari which has all that anti-tracking stuff.
Default Safari option for 3rd party cookies is: "from visited". Check if you have cookies set, if you do - they know you have been a good boy.
It's not that simple with Intelligent Tracking Prevention.
