Hi, Brave engineer here,

Are you by any chance using a VPN while using Brave Search? (ProtonVPN?)

Thanks for your help, we're working on ways to reduce the number of captchas shown to VPN users and your feedback is very useful.




Sorry, just saw your response. I indeed use ProtonVPN.


Thanks for confirming, we've just deployed some improvements to better handle VPN traffic and penalize legit users less. I hope this improves your QoL on Brave Search.
