Hmm... VPN, big proxy, or some other contributing factor? I use site: all the time, not on chrome, and without being logged in... If I've ever gotten captchas doing so, it wasn't frequently enough to see a pattern. Maybe some property of the site makes a difference that puts your usage and my usage on either side of that fence?
