I still don't know whether you're supposed to hit those and I also don't know if it's normal to get two challenges or if that just means I did the first one wrong.
It doesn't really matter, they don't expect you to get everything right on these. While most of the time you need to get mostly right (Google is using these to train their AI so often they are not sure themselves), they are also looking at other things, like how you move your mouse, and the cookies that they use to spy on people to determine the probability of you being a human. If you pass a certain threshold they let you through, and you can do it even if you miss a square.
I use a trackball mouse for disability reasons. I have to actively slow my cursor movement to a crawl and deliberately slowly click each square otherwise I fail captcha's
it's infuriating
I think you should do what the majority of people would do
This has been memed about forever, no one knows what the majority does.
Most people do.
Isn't it normal to get something like 6 challenges?
And suddenly one of them has new slow loading images which you won't notice before clicking continue, thus failing
The most I got at once was around 21 I think. But twice I did such number without passing.
I should finally look at one of those automated captcha solver extensions for Firefox. I know some are more accurate than humans anyway.
Oh I usually get the green checkmark without any captcha.
It depends on the website you are visiting, whether you are loged in on Google and how much cookies you allow and a lot more. Also using Chrome may help because it collects more data.
Sometimes loging out of Google also helps.
