Same, almost unusable with a VPN lately. It sucks. Use searxng now but you loose the image reverse search.

Do you use a VPN? I’ve found that Google has been making me do these much more now that I’m using a VPN.

The less Google can figure out who you are accurately, the longer the ReCAPTCHAs get. For instance, if you run Librewolf with Resist FingerPrinting, you’re going to eat a metric shit-ton of buses, stairs, bicycles and fire hydrants.
Captchas are maddening, they’re forced labor and there’s a special place in hell for whoever invented them, deploy then and maintain them. However, you should take comfort in the fact that if you have a really hard time getting past a particularly stubborn ReCAPTCHA, it means Google has a harder time tracking you.

I use a VPN at all times, because I want to, and I have now learned to not Google anything as it takes me to these CAPTCHAs that I refuse to do. Bing may be crappy too, but at least it doesn’t block me from a simple search. There is no reason, in my opinion, to block a VPN from SEARCHING something. Disgusting.

When I shop stuff on yahoo.jp I get blocked by Google due to the VPN I utilize to connect to Japan.
At least Google allowed me to still access it.
But I use a free VPN so whatever.
