If I'm typing something into a google it's usually so I can be hit with a Captcha on my home internet connection and then get search results that aren't even any better than DDG. And DDG has a LLM as well.

You've got the captcha issue as well? Seems like it's happening constantly now. I suspect Apple Private Relay has something to do with it, but I'm not sure.

  • Nope, not exclusively an Apple thing, since I don't use any Apple products at home, and have had an uptick in captcha requests.

    • If Claude starts sending queries to Google then Google makes you use captcha from that IP, likely you have been using such a bot and it sent queries without you knowing.

    • only time i ever have to deal with this anywhere (and i move physical sites a lot) is when using a commercial VPN provider. odd.
