The endless "I am Not A Robot" screens appear almost every time I use Google search in the Brave browser.
This didn't happen for years, but started recently.
What can I do to get rid of this?
Already tried running Malwarebytes, no issues shown.
Checked Brave settings, deleted cookies etc.
 
Either your ISP or VPN provider has assigned an external IP address which has been known to be used by bots.

Same happened to me a few months back. I gave up, switched to Bing and enjoyed the different perspective.

Now I switch back and forth all the time.

Could you give me some more info on Bing? URL or whatever you think I should know? I am not aware of it at all.
 
There are numerous different search engines to use.
Try a few different ones.

Same goes for browsers...

Personal note:
I try to avoid google for almost everything.
Still have to use Youtube, however (sigh)...

As I am having trouble doing even a simple search, could you give me an URL or two to try a different search engine?
At present I have only Brave installed. It does have options in the settings section for different search engines, but I can't seem to get that working.
Edit: Found how to make Brave use it's own search engine, which does not throw up that "I Am Not a Robot!" screen!
!!!
Thanks again.😎
