Google Search Has Become Slow With Excessive, Illogical CAPTCHA Challenges

A frequent user reports Google Search now takes 10-15 seconds to return results and repeatedly interrupts sessions with unusual CAPTCHA challenges (e.g. "what is a car"), even though modern LLMs can bypass such tests. The user sees this as evidence Google's core search infrastructure and anti-bot systems are deteriorating without improving actual bot detection.

Escalating CAPTCHA, 2FA, and Device-Attestation Friction Makes Ordinary Web Use Feel Adversarial

A widely-upvoted complaint describes a stacking pattern across the web: near-unsolvable CAPTCHAs, mandatory 2FA with unreliable codes, phone-number requirements to create accounts, and requests to rotate one's head or grant microphone access just to prove humanity. Replies corroborate that anti-bot verification increasingly assumes every visitor is a bot by default, burdening legitimate users with growing verification overhead.
