And since you won’t be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.
The community feedback is… interesting to say the least.

This means the IP you got from the VPN has been flagged for abuse. Likely bots, DDOS, or other negative activity, from before you got the IP.
It can also happen if google can’t obtain/verify an id with their normal means (e.g. ip + browser type/settings + cookies + …).
I get challenged all the time and I’ve been on the same static consumer ip, but I go through some precautions to make it more difficult to id me (dump all browser state on restart, disable js except for trusted sources, ad blocker plugin, privacy conscious browser + settings, etc.). I still use a vpn in certain scenarios, but still get captchas either way.
