1. Do you use any kind of VPN or proxy? Captcha mostly got triggered because of VPN or proxy enabled. Temporarily disable them to fix the issue.

2. If the answer above didn’t fix your issue, it could be because of masking user agent. You could use Firefox masking as a Chrome. That could be a issue too

3. Is it works just fine in other browser? (Brave or Chrome)

No VPN, proxy, or user agent masking. I didn’t try it in other browsers.

I hadn’t tried it in a while, but I just did a few searches and the captcha seems to have relaxed now. No idea why it was so needy before.

Thanks for the suggestions!
