Using that app kinda makes browsing suck. I'd never gotten captchas from google themselves until I used it, then I got them frequently.
It does good work though.
Oh, I thought my VPN was the reason I got all of those.
TBF, google throws up captchas & 'suspicious activity detected' at the drop of a hat these days. One of our clients is a SMB that runs off Google SaaS, and recently implemented a 3rd party, device based SSO that is supposed to sync with Google auth. We've has nothing but issues, VPN or no, adblockers or no, and stupid captcha pages all the time. Youtube as a google product sucks now bc embedded videos randomly flag across all browsers and make you sign in to watch an embedded video on someone else's webpage. I understand (though disagree) with google flagging something like known mullvad vpn IPs or something but a corporate vpn? A company approved ad blocking extension allow-listed in GOOGLE ADMIN? GTFO. Just a mess.
