Every time I open opera android app and search a query on google i am greeted with Google captcha. Initially i was solving it to pass but now it comes every time I open opera browser. I was thinking that may be it is Google's issue but after testing this on chrome, firefox, duckduckgo, brave and uc browser i have come to a conclusion that this issue only happens with opera browser. This problem forced me to consider other browser as my main. Can you please explain why this issue is perticularly with opera browser and how to fix this.
FYI i'm not using VPN or private tab, it's just regular tab still the issue occurs. Android version 10 , opera version 70.3.3606.

@ramij1618 Is data savings enabled by chance?
By the way, it doesn't happen here.

@ramij1618 Probably for the same reason that VPN causes it, Google sees it as a suspicious connection, as if it was some kind of bot trying to access.

@leocg Thank you for your help. You are right, the data saving feature is causing google captcha. But i have one question, i'm using opera for past 3.5 years but this problem is only recent like 3-4 months. All this time (3 years) i was using data saver but it did not provoke captcha, then why now? Again thanks for help.

Its because Google has flagged the IP the data saver is using as a bot.You can normally get around it by being logged into a good google account, otherwise disable the data saver and/or try another 3rd party one.
