I often use a VPN and browser extensions that make the new one always asks me to verify. The new tests are just terrible (choose all photos with an apartment building??). It will sometimes take me a few minutes to complete the test when it asks me to check all boxes with a car and the slow fade animation that takes 5 seconds starts. Then it decides that I didn't choose them well enough and starts over again. The old CAPTCHA was much better and I didn't feel like I was just feeding Google's street view.

I've found that disabling JavaScript actually makes the test easier. I often fail the js version but I rarely fail the no-js one.
Next version will ask you to come wash some cars at the Googleplex...
