There are plenty of services that will happily accept a screenshot from a developer, send it out to live humans who solve it in real time, and then return the answers to the developer.

I'm not going to link to them, but you can find them yourself by googling "buy recaptcha solver". The prices for the top two results are $0.50 and $1.39 per 1000 solves (respectively, $0.0005 and $0.00139 per solve).

At that price point, it's feasible for the truly determined to just use those solvers to bypass ReCAPTCHA (or similar services).

Are there chrome extensions that I can use these with? I'd be willing to pay those rates to never have to solve a captcha again. I'm fine leaving the tab open for a few minutes while it's solved even.

HCaptcha's enterprise solution is designed to detect this threat and other's.
