Lightweight browser that works with reCAPTCHA?
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2017 3:34 am
I'm the new guy here. Hello everybody!
Several years ago I tried K-Meleon. A lightweight Mozilla browser. I was shocked! It loaded web pages several times
faster than Internet Explorer. I was hoping K-Meleon would continue to develop and improve.
Thousands of sites are now using the latest version of Google's reCAPTCHA. As you can see by the attached image,
K-Meleon will not display a reCAPTCHA box. I posted on the K-Meleon forum. The only suggestion that made any
sense was trying different UA (User Agent) strings. You can find huge UA lists for all browsers. After two or three
dozen UA strings I quit. It didn't work.
Yesterday, I installed the latest version of Light Firefox (48.0). It's another great lightweight browser.
All Light Firefox versions are available here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lightfirefox/files/
Google lists Firefox as a compatible browser for their reCAPTCHA:
https://support.google.com/recaptcha/an ... 3828?hl=en
After installing Light Firefox I immediately visited a site I was trying to use with K-Meleon. Light Firefox also failed
to load the reCAPTCHA box!
I googled "firefox not working with reCAPTCHA." 45,000 results on the list. Obviously, this is a common problem.
I really need a lightweight browser that will work with Google's reCAPTCHA. I'm sure Internet Explorer will display
reCAPTCHA, but I will not use IE!
You guys are the experts about small and portable apps. That's why I joined this forum. It doesn't have to be
portable, but it must show that reCAPTCHA.
Please give me the name of a lightweight browser that will do the job.
Thanks guys.
