System Details w11 enterprise ltsc 25h2 26200.7462

Problem Whenever I open Thorium and search for something, it asks me to solve a captcha. It's very annoying. Why does this happen? It doesn't happen with other browsers, but Thorium is my main browser, so I'd like to know how to solve this. :( Using: M138.0.7204.300 - 44th Release ---- thorium_AVX2_mini_installer.exe

Research direction
Investigate why Google captcha appears on every search in Thorium. Compare user agent strings and privacy related flags between Thorium and other browsers. Check if any default settings or modifications in the Thorium build trigger captcha challenges.
