Don't worry, the next iteration of CAPTCHAs will rely heavily on browser feature detection, ensuring that you're not using an unauthorized version of Chrome that can be automated. Only authorized and trusted browsers will pass the tests.

Which will mean even more restrictions on the types of browsers we can use, and gathering more information. Not OK either.

This was my point. Google is already doing this[1] for account access, and they will prevent competitors' browsers from logging in.
