VPN or Turbo enabled by chance?

@leocg I tried it with a new profile, but the annoying thing is that with the other browser it usually works with just checking the box, but with Opera they will ask you to solve more problems. Basically, for some reason it gets more strict with Opera.

Maybe a site issue? If you use an extension to change the user agent, anything changes?

@leocg It's on pretty much any site with ReCAPTCHA. Changing user agent didn't help.

I've checked with Opera, Chrome and Firefox and the results seemed very similar here.

@leocg With Edge all I have to do is check, with Opera I have to select squares, and they almost never work.

With Edge, it always works with just checking the box
With Chrome, it always works with second try on selecting squares
With Opera and Firefox, it almost never works.

There's obviously something wrong with the Opera side, because I can't ever get past with Opera, while I can with the other browsers.

I travel a lot and get this periodically. I think it’s a combination of geo location, network and user request/how you access the site.

Often happens to me from address bar search in Opera. Either before Google displays result list or when moving onwards by clicking a URL.

Lufthansa.com uses FunCaptcha and is notoriously strict on unusual browser activity, so I’ve become a professional at aligning animals right-side-up.
