Captchas are used by google as weapon now, if you dare to use a VPN and adblocker.

?

Lots of websites force capchas when on a VPN they don't even have to be provided by Google. Rarbg for example forced a terrible captcha which I usually solved by using OCR with the OCR tool in powertoys. They letters were barely edited or fucked up at all.

Google now keeps you often in endless loop until you disable your VPN. This was never this bad.

If you use the audio captcha it's done in just one go. That's been my experience at least after having been stuck in one too many endless loops with pictures.

Yeah I've completely switched to audio.

I just switched to duckduckgo, that seems to have fixed it
