Just turn on "Resist Fingerprinting" in Firefox and you'll find ReCAPTCHA _really_ annoying! I have to solve 3-5 "panes" of a ReCAPTCHA on _every_ page... It's very annoying that preserving privacy comes with this cost.

I almost want to just add a "DeathByCaptcha" extension to handle these for me and pay a few cents for every page I visit, lol

It's not a cost. Google doesn't want you to protect your privacy from them. It's a punishment.

It doesn't necessarily have to if Google supported privacy pass like hcaptcha does. The problem is that they don't.

Why would they? Supporting privacy-preserving options is not within their business interests.

It's way cheaper than that, you'll pay significantly less than a cent for each captcha.
