This is getting RIDICULOUS! 3 out of 5 searches this happens!

Are you using a VPN? Sometimes I have to pause mine in order to get on certain websites.

It’s a bloody nightmare. Happens to me too

Used to happen to me all the time, for some reason restarting my phone makes it stop for a while

That’s because you’re an AI agent and you’ve learnt to behave like a human and developed a conscience like a human. Sorry you had to find out this way

How are people still using Google after the ai thing? There’s so many search engines that are just as good

I get this, no VPN at all. I wondered if it’s because my internet is too fast? 1gbps+.

This shit happens to me as well. Pisses me off

Sometimes that happens when I need to update my browser.

I had a malicious browser extension installed that was causing this. I forget the name, but it was spamming affiliate links, trying to replace ad ids, and replacing ads with their own ads. Might wanna give that a look. Also, something in your house might be part of a botnet and your ip is being flagged.

Literally never had this happen unless I’m using a vpn. Use a different search engine

Have this happen multiple times daily, never a VPN in the equation. Incognito mode triggers it for me. I can do dozens of searches without a problem while normal browsing. I then open incognito, do the same searches, and get with this immediately. Has happened for years, over various phones, tablets, etc. Can NOT figure out how to rectify.

VPN? You’re routing through another IP so it’s going to check you

Just hit them back and say there’s no such thing as anything other than unusual traffic

Yes, through a tunnel. Multiple clients exiting through the same gateway

I don’t use a VPN but I have JavaScript turned off and this happens if it starts demanding I turn it on.

Hijacking top comment to say if you are using Apple private relay, this is most likely why.

It’s not the part about VPN itself. It’s the fact that instead of getting X amount of requests from same IP address it is getting X*10 or more. And then ir looks suspicious.

If you have iCloud, you probably had private relay enabled. You can disable it if it bothers you to click through the prompt though.

Happens to me on my PC using Startpage
