How do I get rid of I am not a robot CAPTCHA? ›

It all helps to identify you as human. The test has also been looking for cookies in your browser, small pieces of data some websites will leave with you. Humans may have many different cookies from different websites. Bots typically have very few or none at all.

CAPTCHAs are used at the sign up process to prevent spammers from using a “bot” to generate hundreds of spam mail accounts.

The latest versions of reCAPTCHA are able to take a holistic look at a user's behavior and history of interacting with content on the Internet. Most of the time, the program can decide based on those factors whether or not the user is a bot, without providing the user with a challenge to complete.

So, suppose there no problem on my IP right if both of other browser pass the cloudfare checking. That means it's a browser issue, that is your browser is not sending enough important data to tell the system it's a legit user. Instead the system think it's a bot or spam to try to stop you with captcha.

A 2020 episode of QI gave a rather surprising explanation of what ticking 'I am not a robot' on a website really does. They said that it gives a website permission to look at your actions and history on your device to decide if you are human.

A “CAPTCHA” is a turing test to tell human and bots apart. It is easy for humans to solve, but hard for “bots” and other malicious software to figure out. By adding reCAPTCHA to a site, you can block automated software while helping your welcome users to enter with ease.

The “I'm not a robot” checkbox is a CAPTCHA, or a “Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart.” Essentially any type of test, whether it's selecting the image with stoplights or typing out a word that's blurry, is a CAPTCHA, which is used to stop bots.

The most commonly used Turing test is the CAPTCHA, an acronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart." CAPTCHAs are designed to see whether users are human, often to prevent bots from accessing computing services.

Why am I suddenly getting so many CAPTCHAs? ›

Suddenly using the browser from a location in another area could prompt a CAPTCHA if you don't clear your history before connecting to the VPN. When you visit websites without a VPN, your search engine stores temporary files that can divulge the IP address you regularly access your accounts from.

CAPTCHA does not directly check the user's web history. However, some CAPTCHA implementations may use browser fingerprints or other data available to the website to determine the user's identity and assess their risk level.

Using neural networks trained on massive datasets, AI can now reliably solve CAPTCHAs designed to leverage distortions or clutter to stump bots. Whereas older machine learning approaches struggled with obscured or stylized text, modern AI has achieved human-comparable accuracy on many CAPTCHA datasets.

The term CAPTCHA refers to all the automated tests and services that you can use to prevent a bot from spamming your website. This includes hCAPTCHA, Friendly Captcha, and Turnstile, etc. reCAPTCHA is also just a type of CAPTCHA that you can use to block spam. Google acquired reCAPTCHA a while back.

Google interprets that your IP address / device sends multiple search requests at the same time (this creates a suspicious effect on the search engine). With CAPTCHA, Google makes sure that you are not a robot or a computer program that sends multiple requests for search or spam.

Delete the browsing history

If you're constantly prompted to fill in text or image captchas during searches, clearing your browsing history may help. Google relies on cookies to detect bots and automated software, so clearing your browsing history and cookies could resolve the issue.
