is there any way to get rid of this whenever I search on Google?
Use DuckDuckGo has a search engine
ProtonVPN’s IPs are used by thousands of people around the world. Some people use it for malicious purpose, and some just…use it? When Google detects abnormal amount of search traffic on their website from same IP address across multiple devices, they trigger captcha. This is to prevent spiderbots and other bots from scraping their website.
This is not exactly the answer to your question, but consider using Startpage. Same quality as Google results, and you have to fill captcha way less frequently
Why are you searching on Google?
Search.brave.com. falls back to Bing, Mojeek, and finally Google. You can try Gibiru too, although it’s not great yet.
Yes, stop using the Google tracking system and you will cease to encounter Googles counter-measures.
I feel your pain. I’ve clicked on way too many motorcycles and stairs and traffic signals too.
Sometimes using a server in a less populated state works.
Try searching with yandex.com. Their image search is excellent in case that’s of interest
Startpage, DuckDuckGo, or any other search. You have to admit that because of the spying on people that the EVIL ALPHABET Google people do, their results are often more complete, but Startpage uses google anonymously, so you don’t lose out. It has some downsides too though… (sighs).
Dedicated IP is the only solution to that since only you will use that IP address.
Not using stealth fixed it for me. I was getting that thing about 95% of the time while using stealth. I was under the impression that the stealth protocol was to avoid exactly that. but I guess not. I’ve been using WireGuard and now hardly ever get them. This is running the paid version of the VPN. on a MacBook M2, running Ventura. all up to date. always. Oh, and using Safari.
I don’t use NetShield and let uBlock Origin handle the junk.
I also use a Google container on Firefox since my Gmail is always open anyway. Not all cookies are bad.
I use Privacy Pass

Mouahah
Qwant (only browser allowed in my french public library ) wont even find the address of the local townhall and (this is more serious) wont even find “X twitter”.
The only qwant finding about twitter is Elon Musk wikipedia page.
Wonderful results !
i’ll try startpage for a little bit. the only reason i use google is because Brave, Bing, and DuckDuckGo don’t have good quality results.
nothing else i’ve used gave me good quality results
yeah i use yandex for reverse image search
Stealth is for bypassing firewalls that prohibit traditional VPNs, not source-based IP checks. Your exit node will still show up as a potential IOC IP address in a web proxy. As other less savory types will use VPNs to launch attacks, this is just something you have to put up with.
Google is tracking you… what are you talking about?
