Comment (by toruser250):

 why are you guys even using googles captcha? not only do I have to solve
 them constantly on all of the sites i visit, they're not stopping bots
 either. only us.

 turns out simply having a 9 day old google.com cookie gives you the free
 pass to the checkbox mode, no test needed, without any tracking or work on
 their end. maybe we should just collect google.com cookies and inject them
 into our TOR requests to bypass the checkbox and automate the whole
 process.
