Having uBlock installed can't be "something unusual" in this day and age, can it?


That depends on the configuration, but it’s definitely not common for general sites. The original poster mentioned captchas and that’s what I’d expect if you block cookies and JavaScript because there “is this a real browser?” tests use those to avoid hitting people with prompts when they look like a standard browser in its default configuration.
