I FUCKING HATE GOOGLE CAPTCHAS

Sometimes when I'm on VPN or TOR these little fucks won't let me in no matter what, but instead of showing error message or something, they just keep throwing new traffic lights or bicycles at me

If you are using Firefox, switch your default search engine to DuckDuckGo, haven't gotten a captcha from them once. And right in the search bar you can switch to Google if DDG isn't doing too well on a particular search, I do end up doing that about 5% of the time.

I've been using VPN, Firefox and DDG as default search engine for years and I'm filling captchas every single day.

Huh, I've been using a VPN for under a year, and DDG for just a couple of months, but I haven't had a captcha from them yet.

A lot of times those are the backup captchas, the normal one looks at your browser history instead. Using a VPN will change your IP and throw off the history logs, or a setting on your browser

Nah, it's cause you're on an ip blacklist. While lots of people use vpns just for privacy reasons, there is also a lot of abuse from them and the ips get blacklisted frequently.
