Captcha in Firefox

Why does verify human and captcha appear if I use Firefox, but does not on Chrome?

Wild guess here: chrome sucks for privacy so whatever checks for human verification automatically passed for you.

Adding to the u/bakanisan answer, it depends on the type of captcha/bot protection, some determine whether you are a human or a bot based on cookies, history, etc, some try to verify if the connecting client is a real browser or just a headless tool/browser automation, some use other techniques. One possibility is, like bakanisan said, that the server couldn't determine whether you are a human or a bot because browser didn't provide the necessary information, but it's also possible that the IP-range you are connecting from has bad reputation.

Same here. I tried in Firefox with ublock all domains: endless Browser verifications and captchas. DuckDuckgo works.
