Getting captchas after every single search (doesn't matter if I've done the captcha already)

Getting captchas after every single search (doesn't matter if I've done the captcha already)

I don't understand what is happening anymore. This issue has faded away previously but has now returned and it's much much worse. Previously, I was getting a captcha after searching every other thing but now it's after searching anything, even after doing a captcha. I could do the captcha and after searching again get another one.

I'm using a Brave browser with Google search engine. This issue seems to be only happening with Google though, I would like to keep using Google as with Brave or DuckDuckGo search engines the search results are different and it feels weird honestly.

Also, I haven't downloaded anything malicious from the internet so I really doubt that it's some kind of malware.

Edit: I forgot to mention that this issue was present for at least 3 months already, also I've noticed that it's only happening when I'm using incognito mode.

Here are my Brave shield settings (if it helps):

I've also tried to find if bots are using my IP which Google was implying and here's what I found (not sure if it's helpful though):
