for google, you are the enemy. not even bots.

captcha is google master blow against ad blockers.

a regular user, who they have all the info, give them dollars per ad impression. You, with your doNotTrack (ha! that was a joke) and privacy addons makes them only cents per ad impressions.

you are google's enemy. remember this when you get stuck in captcha hell (and consequently censored from most sites until changing device/ip)

IDK. I run Firefox on many OSes, everywhere with uMatrix that blocks known trackers, ad networks and such. I don't see most ads (if any).

I rarely see the "I am not a robot" box, and hasn't seen image recognition tasks for a long-long time.

That also heavily depends on what kind of/which sites you visit.

[gcb0]

"that also depends if you have something to hide" was said of every police state and censorship scheme.

[gcb0]

if you were really blocking all trackers, Captcha would even work. Firefox help page for their new tracker blocking feature says so even.

They're on a lot of sites that I frequent.

[jplayer01]

Yup. It's insufferable. Even on sites where I'm a paying customer, I have to go through captcha garbage.

If you're a paying customer, complain to the company. Let them know their site is annoying and frustrating to use because of this.

If they lose enough customers over this, they will probably remove the captcha.
