The methods told here should generally work, but there is no guarantee of the same. There is a very easy way to guarantee that Google reCAPTCHA challenge always show up. All you need to do is to add a custom BOT device in developer tools and then use the same to test.
- In Chrome Dev Tools, open
Settings
. OpenDevices
after that. - Add a custom device with any name and set
User Agent String
toGooglebot/2.1
- Finally, in Device Mode, at the left of the top bar, choose the custom device that you created (the default is Responsive).
