Google's heuristics recently seem to be in overdrive when I tether using the same data plan I've been using for years, to the point that I often have to spend *literally 40 seconds* on a captcha to do a no-AI search in Incognito.

Something feels off when big tech LLMs are allowed to slurp everything up but I get treated like a bot. 🙄

It's not lost on me that the obvious solution here is "let Google track all my searches by default". Which, … no. I'm not giving up on data hygiene best practices.

I'll die on that hill, or at least switch search engines.
