And they do it in a VERY sneaky way so you don't obviously see it. . they open it in a hidden iframe and the only way you can find it is to look at estorage and cookies in the web dev tools and also you can view it in network traffick
Sometimes the captcha is already filled for you and lets you through; that's the hidden iframe one; otherwise it shows the captcha in a challenge. Either way, it's contacting google, and telling google that you are there. Which is bullshit

This was two years ago. Has protonmail done anything to address this such as implement their own captcha interface or bot mitigation?
Is there a way to block it?
I've never once done a captcha on protonmail.
It's not a traditional captcha. It's more like a cookie that is downloaded.
