    Just because sites use ReCaptcha, doesn’t mean you have to use a google account. Please, don’t mix these two. If a site starts demanding a google account, that is a site that has outlived its usability.

    I stopped using Google because of it’s creepy invasive practices (have you checked your “my Acitvity” page yet?) and now I’m looking into blocking Google Analytics once I realized they keep asking for canvas context (so, hardware information). Similar to Meta’s Pixel. Both actual spyware plagues.

    I won’t expect everyone to be tech savvy. But Friends don’t let friends use the internet without Ad+Tracker Blockers. Either set up a Device-level DNS (ie AdGuard DNS, Quad9, etc) and/or Set up host-level blocking (like StevenBlack’s Unified Lists) you can do this at the device level, or local network level.
