Wouldn't reCaptcha V3 also make things much more difficult for Google competitors, assuming that site owners place it on every page? I'm guessing it will block any sort of scraper (since scraper access patterns don't look human) with some sort of whitelist for Google's scrapers.



They typically won't completely deny access, but only disallow certain actions (posting a comment etc). All out denying access will likely get site owners into trouble, at least in the EU - you need to be able to access privacy information, publisher info etc. I'm also not sure whether non-opt-in usage of recaptchav3 is GDPR compliant.


Yes it means Google has p0wnd the web.
