haha.. i am building a browser extension that does login and bypass captcha by sending the captcha image to a server and getting a response. that roundabout takes ~6 seconds. the "normal" way of handling was designed with "username<tab>password<tab><captcha send><show captcha getting banner><spinner><captcha get><captcha paste><tab><enter>
this "felt" too much work so i thought of redesigning the workflow so we ended up with
<captcha send>username<wait><tab>password><wait><tab><show captcha getting banner><wait><captcha paste><tab><enter>
we made the entire process take time to accommodate the ~6 seconds of captcha which currently does not "feel" as taking that time because people are now not happy with loading and wait spinnners generally or stuff taking time, they want everything to be instant. this is just gaming the system so that we can work around technical limitations
