At least yours is a low number. I had to do some with numbers like "37". I had to solve 64 of these to talk to PlayStation billing support. It wasn't mildly infuriating, it was enraging. They made me do 16 of them, and then just took me back to the same page as if I hadn't solved any at all. Then I had to do 16 of them again to be told that support was offline. Then the next day I did 16 more to be told support was offline, so I tried it in chrome instead of Firefox and had to do 16 more to be given a phone number to call, which I had to hold on for 67 minutes before I could talk to someone about a refund for a mistake on my billing. That type of dark pattern "fuck you" practice should be illegal. Fuck Sony.
The part of your story where you had to eventually switch to Chrome got me, because that's me every fucking time. These monsterous companies aren't just using captcha wrong (or right if they're evil), they're also all-in on chromium supremacy because why support more than one standard? And here I am, forty captcha deep wondering if I'm about to pop a god damned hidden achievement for persistence in an impossible task.
For me, when a site forces Chrome, I just use ungoogled chromium, or sometimes vanilla Chromium
oh i had to do 10 of them there were definitely some 24s in there 😭
