Google's reCAPTCHA Fails De-Googled Android Users, Impacting Privacy

The issue with Google is much worst than i tought.

Imagine this: you’ve diligently stripped down your Android device, eschewing Google Play Services for a leaner, more privacy-respecting experience. You’ve embraced custom ROMs like GrapheneOS, taking control of your digital footprint and reclaiming your autonomy. Then, you try to access a website. Instead of a simple check, you’re met with an impenetrable barrier, a digital “Sorry, you are not welcome here.” This isn’t a hypothetical scenario; it’s the stark reality for a growing number of users thanks to Google’s latest iteration of reCAPTCHA.
