ReCaptcha Broken in Google Chrome
James Proud
coded a custom widget and it hardly works at all, and the audio
component breaks with it and on official reCAPTCHA widgets too.
Any ideas?

Maybe you have it the wrong way round, and that Chrome is the thing
that's broken here?

not? I guess will have to code PHP to disable the captcha being shown
for Chrome at this time.

While it's admirable that 'a site' is willing to accommodate the
foibles of the next big browser to hit the scene, it it not time that
people demanded that new web browsers accept the current standards
(faulty though they are) rather than acquiescing to the new broken
behaviour introduced by a new browser introduced by a big company that
clearly doesn't understand the client side of search engines?
I have a web site. Joe Smith brings out a browser that ignores certain
protocols regarding CSS. My site looks shit on his browser.
If sufficient people use JSmith browser, should I (a) tell them to use
ABrowns browser, or (b) lose them?
Sorry. Rant over. Due in part to other request that 'recaptcha is
broken on chrome' when it is clearly chrome is somewhat broken.

recaptcha itself is broken, it just isn't functioning correctly in
Chrome, obviously because of Chrome and I was purely wondering if
there were any fixes at the moment to accommodate the shortcomings of
Chrome.
My main problem is that "recaptcha_only_if_image" and
"recaptcha_only_if_audio" class tags do not seem to work/be recognised
under Chrome.

words in Chrome, which is not nearly enough to make a guess at what it
says.
Strangely, this seems to be somewhat site-dependent. For example this
site works great:
http://recaptcha.net/learnmore.html
But this one does not (only loads that 1/4 of the words):
https://claimid.com/register
I have no idea why, but hopefully knowing that different sites respond
differently will help. I've already submitted it via chrome as a
broken site, but who knows where it will end up from there. ;-)

adding a Xhtml Strcit doctype to the document, it seems to be fixed.
