The CaptchaAI Chrome extension is a captcha solver extension built for users who want to solve CAPTCHA directly in Chrome. You can use it to solve reCAPTCHA, solve BLS CAPTCHA, handle Turnstile and GeeTest, and manage captcha solving settings from one extension interface.
​

This guide shows how to set up the extension, connect your account, configure the main settings, and start using it as a CAPTCHA solver Chrome extension on supported pages.


What the CaptchaAI Chrome Extension Does

The extension is designed to help you solve captcha challenges from inside Chrome without switching to a separate workflow. In the current extension flow, the main supported solve toggles include:

  • reCAPTCHA V2

  • reCAPTCHA V3

  • Turnstile

  • GeeTest V3

  • BLS

  • Normal captcha image

Your draft also reflects that the main setup flow is centered on the API key, plan threads, multi-captcha handling, and auto-solve toggles.


Before You Start

Before using the extension, make sure you have:

  • the CaptchaAI Chrome extension installed

  • a CaptchaAI account

  • a valid API key

  • available plan threads in your account

Without an API key and available threads, the extension will not be able to process CAPTCHA solving tasks.

  • Install the CaptchaAI Chrome Extension here by clicking "Add to chrome"
    ​

  • Click on "Add Extension"
    ​

Note: Pin CaptchaAI Extension to your Toolbar from Manage Extensions for controlling it easier

Important: You should have active CaptchaAI Account, If you don't have a one, Complete your register here


Step 1: Open the Extension Popup

After installing the extension, click the CaptchaAI icon in Chrome.

The popup gives you quick access to the most important items:

  • API Key

  • Validate & Save

  • Plan Threads

  • Buy threads

  • Auto-Solve toggles

  • Session stats such as solved, failed, and average time

This popup is the fastest way to start using the extension as a captcha solver for everyday browser workflows.
​


Step 2: Add Your API Key and Validate It

In the popup, paste your API key into the API Key field.

Then click Validate & Save.
​

This step connects the extension to your CaptchaAI account. Once the key is validated, the extension can use your account threads for solving.

You can also use the Get API key link if you need to retrieve your key from your account.
​

If the extension is enabled but does not solve captcha on supported pages, this is the first setting to check.


Step 3: Check Your Plan Threads

Below the API key section, review Plan Threads.

This shows the currently available solving capacity on your account. If your account has no active threads, the extension will not be able to solve reCAPTCHA, solve BLS CAPTCHA, or handle other supported challenge types.

You can also:

  • refresh the thread count

  • click Buy threads

  • open Account options


Step 4: Turn On Auto-Solve for the CAPTCHA Types You Need

In the popup, the Auto-Solve section lets you quickly turn supported CAPTCHA types on or off.

The quick controls currently include:

  • Normal captcha image

  • reCAPTCHA V2

  • reCAPTCHA V3

  • Turnstile

  • GeeTest V3

  • BLS

For reCAPTCHA V2, the popup also lets you choose between:

  • Token

  • Grid

This is important because token-based reCAPTCHA and image-grid reCAPTCHA are different solve flows.

If your goal is to solve reCAPTCHA, solve BLS CAPTCHA, or handle multiple CAPTCHA types from one browser profile, this popup is the fastest control panel.
​


Step 5: Open the Full Settings Page

For advanced setup, click the settings icon in the popup or open the full extension settings page.

The left sidebar includes these sections:

  • General

  • Proxy

  • User-Agent

  • Captcha Types

  • Normal captcha image

  • Guide

  • Context Table

  • Blacklist

This is where you configure the full captcha solving behavior of the extension.


General Settings

Step 6: Enable the Extension

In General Settings, turn on Extension Enabled.

This is the main master switch for the extension. If it is off, the extension will not detect or solve captcha challenges on webpages.

You can also adjust:
​

Show Notifications

Enable this if you want to see overlay notifications while the extension is solving.
​

Auto-Hide Solved Status

Enable this if you want solved status overlays to disappear automatically after a short delay.

These settings control the behavior of the extension itself, not the per-CAPTCHA solve logic.
​


Step 7: Review API Key, Plan Threads, and Handling Mode

The General tab also includes:

  • API Key

  • Plan Threads

  • Multi-Captcha Handling

  • Auto-Solve Toggles

In Multi-Captcha Handling, the current option shown is:

  • Trigger on Hover/Focus (Default)

Use this when the page activates the CAPTCHA only after interaction, such as hovering over an element or focusing a form field. This is useful on pages where CAPTCHA solving does not start until the widget becomes active.
​


Step 8: Use the Auto-Solve Toggles in General Settings

The Auto-Solve Toggles section in General Settings gives you a broader switchboard for supported solve types.

From the settings screen you shared, this includes:

  • reCAPTCHA V2 (token)

  • reCAPTCHA V2 (grid)

  • reCAPTCHA V3

  • Turnstile

  • GeeTest V3

  • GeeTest V4 marked as coming soon

  • BLS

  • Normal captcha image

This is the main area to control which flows the extension will handle automatically. That matches the setup flow in your draft, which centers on enabling the needed solve types before saving and testing.
​

Recommended starting setup
Turn on:

  • reCAPTCHA V2 (grid) if you want to solve grid challenges

  • reCAPTCHA V3

  • Turnstile

  • GeeTest V3

  • BLS

  • Normal captcha image

Then turn on reCAPTCHA V2 (token) if your workflow uses token-based reCAPTCHA.
​


Proxy Settings

Step 9: Configure a Proxy if Your Workflow Requires It

In Proxy Settings, you can enable proxy support for API requests.

The available fields are:

  • Enable Proxy

  • Type

  • Host / IP

  • Port

  • Login

  • Password

Use this section only if your setup requires proxy routing. If you do not use a proxy, leave it disabled.

A practical use case is keeping your CAPTCHA solving request aligned with the browsing environment used in your workflow.


User-Agent Settings

Step 10: Configure a Custom User-Agent if Needed

In User-Agent Settings, you can configure how the extension handles user-agent values.

The available options are:

  • Send Custom User-Agent

  • User-Agent String

  • Use API-Returned UA

Use Send Custom User-Agent if you want to manually define the user-agent sent with API requests.

Use Use API-Returned UA if you want the extension to apply the user-agent returned from the solve response.

If you do not need user-agent customization, leave these options off.
​


Captcha Types Settings

Step 11: Configure Per-CAPTCHA Behavior

The Captcha Types page gives you more detailed controls for individual CAPTCHA families.
​

reCAPTCHA V2

You can configure:

  • Mode

  • Delay (MS)

  • Retries

  • Grid Click Speed (MS)

  • Enable Enterprise reCAPTCHA

  • Auto Submit

Use this section when you want more control over how the extension handles solve reCAPTCHA workflows.
​

reCAPTCHA V3

You can configure:

  • Min Score

  • Delay (MS)

  • Retries

  • Enterprise Mode

  • Auto Submit

Turnstile

You can configure:

  • Delay (MS)

  • Retries

  • Auto Submit

GeeTest

You can configure:

  • Delay (MS)

  • Retries

  • Auto Submit

BLS

You can configure:

  • Delay (MS)

  • Retries

  • Auto-Open

  • Auto Submit

This is especially useful if your goal is to solve BLS CAPTCHA with more control over timing and solve behavior.
​


Normal Captcha Image Settings

Step 12: Configure Image CAPTCHA Solving

If you want to solve image-based challenges, open Normal captcha image settings.

This page includes:

  • Polling Interval (MS)

  • OCR Module

  • Auto Detect & Solve (Heuristics)

  • Auto-Evaluate Math

  • Auto Submit

  • Open Guide

Use these settings when you want the extension to solve standard image CAPTCHA or OCR-style CAPTCHA tasks.
​

Practical guidance

Polling Interval (MS)
Controls how often the extension checks for the solve result.
​

OCR Module
Lets you choose which OCR module to use. If you do not need a specific module, keep the default selection.
​

Auto Detect & Solve (Heuristics)
Useful when you want the extension to automatically find and solve normal CAPTCHA images without extra marking.
​

Auto-Evaluate Math
Useful if the CAPTCHA is a math expression rather than plain characters.
​

Auto Submit
Triggers an action automatically after the normal captcha image result is filled.
​


Guide

Step 13: Use the Built-In Guide for Normal Image CAPTCHA

The Guide section explains how normal captcha image solving works in the extension.

From the screen you shared, the guide covers:

  • what the normal captcha image feature does

  • popup toggle behavior

  • polling interval

  • OCR module

  • auto detect and solve

  • auto evaluate math

  • auto submit

  • image context table

  • right-click tools

  • troubleshooting

This is useful if your workflow uses image CAPTCHA fields that need more than basic auto-detection.
​


Context Table

Step 14: Use the Context Table for Site-Specific Image CAPTCHA Mapping

The Context Table is for automatic normal captcha image solving on specific pages.

The page description states that it maps specific URLs to CAPTCHA image and result input selectors for automatic solving. This makes it useful when you need to define exactly where the extension should read the image from and where it should write the result.

Use Add Entry when you want to create a site-specific mapping.

This is one of the most practical advanced settings if you are using the extension to solve captcha on custom or less standard image CAPTCHA layouts.
​


Blacklist

Step 15: Exclude Websites from CAPTCHA Solving

The Blacklist section lets you skip solving on listed URLs.

You can:

  • enable or disable the blacklist

  • add URLs one per line

Use this when you want the extension to ignore certain pages or domains.

This is helpful if you use the extension as a general captcha solver extension but do not want it active on every site.
​


Step 16: Save All Settings

After changing any configuration, click Save All Settings.

This button appears across the settings pages and is required to apply your changes.

Do not skip it. If you change toggles or advanced settings and do not save, the extension may continue using the old configuration.


Step 17: Test the Extension on a Supported Page

After setup is complete:

  1. open a supported page

  2. make sure the extension is enabled

  3. confirm your API key is validated

  4. confirm your account has plan threads

  5. confirm the right solve toggles are turned on

  6. test the CAPTCHA flow

When everything is configured correctly, the extension should detect the supported CAPTCHA type and start solving according to your settings.

That is the core practical flow for using CaptchaAI to solve CAPTCHA directly in Chrome.

To Solve reCAPTCHA

Turn on:

  • reCAPTCHA V2 (token) for token-based flows

  • reCAPTCHA V2 (grid) for image-grid flows

  • reCAPTCHA V3 for score-based flows

To Solve BLS CAPTCHA

Turn on:

  • BLS

  • optionally review BLS settings under Captcha Types

  • enable Auto-Open or Auto Submit only if your workflow needs them

To Solve Normal Image CAPTCHA

Turn on:

  • Normal captcha image

  • Auto Detect & Solve (Heuristics)

  • Auto-Evaluate Math if the CAPTCHA is math-based

  • Context Table if the site needs manual field mapping


Common Issues and Fixes

The extension is enabled but not solving

Check these first:

  • your API key is entered correctly

  • you clicked Validate & Save

  • your account has available plan threads
