How to pin the extension

Automated captcha solving

Here you can select the types of captchas that the extension will recognize automatically.

You may need to reload the page with captcha for the changes to take effect!

Repeat captcha solving in case of an error

If the first attempt to solve the captcha is failed, the extension will send repeated tasks until the captcha is not solved, or until the limit specified in this setting will not be reached.

Proxy

In this section, you can specify a proxy that will be passed along with the recognition task.

The Login and Password fields are optional. The extension also supports proxies with IPv6.

Blacklist control

Using the blacklist you can configure the extension to ignore captchas on specific websites.

After enabling this option, a field for entering sites will appear:

Domains must be specified along with the protocol (https:// or http://). You can use masks:

  • ? - any one character except period
  • * - any number of any characters

Examples:

FilterDescription
https://zennolab.comProhibition of the extension on the site https://zennolab.com
https://*.zennolab.comProhibition of the extension on all subdomains https://zennolab.com
https://www.google.*Prohibiting the extension from working on Google in all zones (ru, com, com.ua, etc.)

When errors occur in solving captchas, see the error glossary.

Captcha parameter mapping

The CapMonster Cloud extension provides a convenient way to view the parameters of various captcha types required for correct task submission and successful solving. The displayed data helps ensure the accuracy of the parameters you send and can be used as an example when forming your API requests.
