This is driven by enhanced tracking prevention. If you turn that off for the respective site, then it goes away.

Good to know.

Pretty sure I try disabling protections in such situations but maybe not. I returned to the last site that did it to me to try this out (on a different machine) and it didn't captcha me at all with protections on! Ugh.

That's so weird. I've ended up just disabling ATP whenever I get a captcha. Super annoying but less annoying than the captchas.
