It has been 2–3 years already since I heard of the new reCAPTCHA running in the background. However, that must be dependent on Chrome or on some JS that Firefox NoScript users may leave disabled, because privacy-aware internet users will still encounter image CAPTCHA hell doing many ordinary things on the web, and the situation only gets worse if you add Tor to the mix.

The worst are the sites that don't have a fallback. If the new CAPTCHA decides you are a bot because, for example, you are running a VPN or something there's absolutely nothing you can do. Has happened to me two or three times.
