No, I've never noticed that. I don't try to access google or youtube directly through Tor. I just use those programs.



Wait, you can get around IP bans (Google certainly has a CAPTCHA on anyone trying to access Search from a Tor exit node IP address) by using a different client? Like, the check is client-side? That seems odd.


Please re-read my original post, it was about youtube, not search. But I don't think you can get around the Tor captcha on search, so at this time I would say avoid google search entirely if you care about not being tracked.


Presumably the captchas are only on the YouTube UI itself and not on the API endpoints that provide the data.
