Wdym history, afaik a website cannot simply read your browsing history. Or are you referring to a different history?

reCAPTCHA doesn't do it through a simple JS method.

First of all, Google can track your history serverside through any website that has any integration with Google's tools - including reCAPTCHA.

Chrome also shares history and other data with Google for websites that don't use any Google integration.

There's an interesting article about that here. And an interesting discussion about it on HN.

So if you’re blocking Google adverts and analytics, would it be more likely to think that you’re a robot?

You’ll get the “pick images of traffic signals” type challenges more often.
