Have you de-Googled or something? They only really nail you when you don't have a signed-in Google account with real-world web usage, particularly if your connection originates from a flagged IP.

Oh yes, how dare I visit a website without letting Google track me. Better block the user with a fake test in the name of security.

Some VPNs will definitely trigger reCaptcha, even if signed on to Google. I just have to hop over to another IP and suddenly everything is fine again.

I've noticed I get the stupid recaptha way more since I swapped to Firefox. Even though I'm logged in to a Google account.

I get it a lot when I'm using our work VPN (which shows up as an AWS IP address). I guess if you're using a VPN or a less reputable ISP you'll probably get stung more often.
