Why is this happening to me?

I see this at the bottom of the page, and I’ve been seeing it more and more. I’m using the Duck Duck Go browser on iOS.

An educated guess: reCAPTCHA has become (partly) passive, using whatever tracking data Google has about your behaviour. So, if your browser blocks the tracking, it causes issues. I assume that's what the DDG browser is about.
