Are people really that eager to send google all traffic information? Is this really the best solution? Couldn't one for example parse the actual content that the bots are trying to create and filter/ban them based on that? I believe spam detection is quite effective these days.
This whole captcha hell is making web really annoying for normal users and mostly just benefits google.
It really fucks with you when you're on TOR, especially.
Looks like it happens not only in that case.
Also, that's terrible! I'm so sorry for you that you had that experience today. You must feel pretty angry to sit through 15 CAPTCHAs!
I have to solve the CAPTCHA problem. I'm sorry I can't explain why this happens or how the CAPTCHA system works. I don't know anything about it.
I'm OKAY with the occasional CAPTCHA, but I'm not satisfied that people are getting hit like this.
I've been told that VPNs have a solution to this (since they need to deal with their clients getting faced with CAPTCHAs as well) but I'm sorry I have not reached out to any VPNs yet about this because, last time this problem occurred[0], after an hour or two I checked and it stopped happening, and there were no more CAPTCHAs. So last time I did not have to change the default search provider to DDG.
I'll send an email to NordVPN now and ask them if they have any idea what I can do.
Just kiddin'. Sometimes, I end up having to do unreasonably more captchas. The reason is that the system verified I am human, and it wants me to cooperate with it for free in order to authenticate more captchas. Machine learning, they call it. I call it un(der)paid labour. Never had 15 in a row though, so I suppose the already mentioned reason is more plausible.
Just try doing a reverse phone number search on truecaller.com. It will work flawlessly on Chrome but use FF or any other browser and recaptcha will fail you saying you're a bot (at least happens to me evey time I've tried). Same for many other sites where you see that "Checking your browser" page.
So even though I want to use FF I can't since most of the web is unusable because of this stupid Recaptcha unlesw you're using Google Chrome :(
Google probably identified you as computator prior to the capcha but that profile had no value for seemingly impossibly.

Can anyone explain the purpose of Google putting up an apparently impossible barrier like that? Is it because my searches are comingled with dozens of other people attempting Google searches at the same time from the same IP address? Or Google decided to blacklist his IP address?
