It works well when you’re signed into the Google advertising ecosystem. But god forbid you try to use Tor to browse the web, you’re going to spend hours of time every week deciding whether the pole counts as part of the street light and waiting for pictures of fire hydrants to load.

I use VPN and Privacy Badger + UBlock origin in Firefox containers (I use google in it's own container). I swear Google hardcoded this particular setup to go to the shit-list. I'm sick of buses, bikes and traffic lights. Wrote a lot of angry emails about reCAPTCHA to local government agencies and services for which I'm a logged in and I'm a paying fucking customer.

My favorite is when they refuse to even deliver the audio challenge. Surely that’s a violation of some law (ADA?) if it happens on certain websites.
