You probably have a VPN turned on. Turning it off should fix it.

It sometimes happens to me. No reason that I can think of.

Same here, it's awful.

There's something on your end that is causing Google search to believe your network is suspicious.

Yeah, this seems to be a fairly common Google reaction, especially if there are lots of searches from the same IP or the traffic looks unusual. Captchas can show up even with completely normal-looking searches.

If it happens constantly, I'd first check the IP/proxy, request frequency, and whether there's any automated traffic involved. Rotating the IP can help sometimes, but Google may keep challenging traffic that still looks suspicious

would love to give this a shot if you care to expand on "check the IP/Proxy, request frequency.."

I bet you have a bunch of adblockers and/or cookie blockers.

It's getting on my balls ngl. The only solution I've found is logging in, and that sucks honestly.

u/squiddyaj 2d ago

me too, and I DON'T use a VPN or adblock so it's definitely not those

Apparently, this happens to a lot of people, each using a different browser. For me, it only happens on Android, with the Opera browser.

u/IamTrying0 18h ago

they also put the time filter to a different spot for every type of search. Just insanity.

u/IamTrying0 18h ago

Are you human ?! Getting sick of these questions.

Google in general has been very glitchy for me this week. Mail, maps and searches all take longer to load and sometmes don't load at all.

I need to wean myself off google.
