It’s a Google website address that’s supposed to be opened on a different device. If you don’t have a second device you’re out of luck and can’t advance
It has to be a mobile device with a phone number. When I tried this out a while ago the QR code prompts your phone to open its SMS app to send a text message. It can’t be opened on a desktop
As I understand it, you can’t just real a url from the code and enter it into your browser. You have to have their app installed on your phone to read it with, which then somehow sends to google to unlock the page. So obviously the code contains the IP address/fingerprint of your desktop and/or a code linked to that instance of the captcha page. The purpose is so they can link your desktop browser to your phone = to your identity, for the giant database. Linking all the devices you use to your ID has long been a goal.

Isn’t that a really easy captcha to defeat then? Just send the URL to another one in your bot farm.

Ok, that’s not going to happen.
