RECAPTCHA solution

I have noticed some posts about the difficulty in solving Recaptcha (especially the Road/Street signs) even when you correctly identified what was asked of you. Have been through this and sorted it by opening any page that will have recaptcha in a NEW PRIVATE WINDOW using Firefox.
If I mistakenly open in a non Private window I immediately have the problem of getting anything to submit. I realise my mistake, open a new page in a private window and everything submits ok

There is a rather large thread here re this.

Using incognito or private windows is the only way I can get these to work. Either that or using my phone and taking the WiFi off. This makes me wonder if it is anything to do with my Broadband provider which is BT.

Have read other thread about this and today have gone with your suggestion of entering re incognito and it has worked!! I am with Sky and use Google and until today have been unable to enter any comps with the Street/Road Sign Recaptcha . Many many thanks you are a STAR . Now just need to win

This is going to annoy some people, but about 7 times out of 10 when I click on a reCAPTCHA, I get a tick immediately and don't have to solve anything!

PS. I'm using Chrome on a PC, wired to the internet (not wi-fi) with a fixed IP address and with mobile emulator turned off ("Mobile User-Agent" - it prevents videos on mag dailies) and I'm logged in to Google (through gmail).

Most "normal" usage should usually get a tick immediately or in some cases the recaptcha only shows if your usage is considered "suspicious". If you exclude entering competitions then on a day to day basis most people encounter few if any of them.
