Google Broke reCAPTCHA for De-Googled Android Users
The company that decides whether you're a bot now also requires you run its software to prove otherwise.
When reCAPTCHA flags what it considers suspicious activity, it abandons the old image puzzles and demands you scan a QR code. That scan requires Play Services running in the background, communicating with Google’s servers. If you’re using GrapheneOS or any other custom ROM that strips out Google’s software, the verification fails.
