Google keeps sending me to solve captchas when in Incognito on my phone. Should I be worried? (alien.top)

It says “our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot.”

This only happens on my phone when incognito mode, it happened a couple a days ago and it’s kind of worrying me. It started when i wasn’t even connected to my home WIFI, it started when connected to a public network.

I use the same network at home on my computer and get no issues. What’s happening?

A catcha on PC has access to your mouse movements so part of the test is seeing you are moving the cursor towards the objectives in an organic way. On phones/Using a touchscreen there is less information to go on. You may be tapping the buttons suspiciously accurately.
