There are also at least 2 options for dealing with captchers, Firefox with
Webvisum or Rumola which I believe works with Firefox, Google Chrome and
Safari on a Mac.
It's well worthwhile to familiarize yourself with these options as they are
effective tools for solving captchas.

newer eyesight cameras as in the 5S, 6 and 6 Plus have larger pixels which
