One of the things that I've noticed about sites that use Google's
CAPTCHA tool is that if I'm working in Seamonkey, sometimes it takes
as many as 7 or 8 solved puzzles before I can get past the CAPTCHA,
and of course, that's really annoying.
Something that I came across a week or so back is that that handling
is unusual for users that use Chrome. And I haven't checked, but it
apparently more than a couple is unusual for Firefox users. It seems
that the CAPTCHA is more critical of Firefox UA strings that show
another browser name, as being more likely evidence of bot activity.
Since I do quite a bit with on-the-fly spoofing of user agents with
PrefBar, I've been playing with CAPTCHA handling. Right now, if I see
a CAPTCHA, before I start interacting with the picture puzzles, I
change my UA from Seamonkey to a UA string for a recent version of
Chrome, and I'm finding that I see less CAPTCHA puzzles, two or three
at the most, and sometimes, only one. For good measure, I've found
the same experience showing a UA string for Opera. I haven't yet
checked a stock Firefox string, but I suspect that it will also cause
fewer CAPTCHA puzzles than Seamonkey.
Once I get past the CAPTCHA dialog, then I remove spoofing, returning
to my normal Seamonkey UA.
Anyway, it's nice to see that there's an apparent way for us Seamonkey
users to make the CAPTCHAs less intrusive.

I have the same problem when signing in to zoom to create webinars ...
With Seamonkey I need 4 or 5 captcha success before able to work.
When I do the same with Google-Chrome - there is NO captcha at all
