Google reCAPTCHA v3

Google · USA (California) · since 2018-10

Returns a 0.0 to 1.0 risk score with no user interaction. You decide what to do with that score. Excellent at filtering bots, but the cost is sending every visitor's behavioral data to Google. The 2026 default that everyone is trying to leave.
