I fix this problem using this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/buster-captcha-solver/
it uses AI to bypass it, way faster than any human can do it (requires a free api key from facebook to work reliably, unfortunately)
what's fun is that the garbled audio that recaptcha is using as a fallback for blind is completely incomprehensible for me, only the newest programs can understand it. Captchas are becoming "only bots can pass this check"
At that point failing is the “correct” answer. It’s not necessarily looking at can you solve it, but how you solve it (and how fast is the mouse moving , is it moving in straight lines, did you fail six times and get frustrated? Did the time between tries change?)
One would think, that if these sites and anywhere that applies Captcha at all, that if there were puzzles to solve to tell the difference between Bot or Human. That a human would have a likely chance to mess it up, whereas a Bot or AI are designed to do things flawlessly.
I bet the creator of Captcha didn't have the thought process to think about that.

Welp, that’s a fatal flaw
Do you use a VPN? I've found that Google has been making me do these much more now that I'm using one.
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.
Same, almost unusable with a VPN lately. It sucks. Use searxng now but you loose the image reverse search.
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.
A while ago I spent 20 minutes doing captchas to try to reset the password to my Steam account. I finally Googled to see if it usually took so many, and it turned out to just be bugged, lmao. Had to reset it through the mobile app instead, IIRC.
If they see that you're fast and accurate, they give you more to help their training.
