>By using this, G--gle will hound you with impossible capchas and privacy-forward search engines will think that you're a bot
A friend of mine had an alternative theory: by making it very very hard to track you, you have shown to be somewhat intelligent and you have shown that you know more about computers than the average Joe. Goolag, knowing you're a somewhat intelligent human, gives you the very hard captchas it needs to train.
If Google has a way to verify correctness of an answer, which they seemingly would have to - then would it matter? Smart person or smart bot - if they are given a tough question and answer correctly Google gains confidence in the answer _(or however it works haha)_.
Because really i don't think Google cares at all about bots. They just want data. And the captcha system is an impressive system to pull training data out of intelligent beings/code.
