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?

It's working as intended, they can't track you as well, so you have to verify.

Which browser? What phone OS?

Asking because some browsers now come with an option to use their built-in free vpn.

If your's is such a browser, then the vpn option may have been turned on somehow?

Also, have you tried using private browsing mode on another browser, like firefox?

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.
