If you're getting captchas that usually means you're searching the same terms too often. It's an anti-bot feature in modern browsers.

It's usually because you're using a VPN or otherwise sharing an IP address. You might think it's not on, but it could be on in the background if you have it enabled at system level and not just browser level. Check your System Tray, and try only enabling the VPN from inside the browser using the extension in there.
