# Extension Quickstart

# Loading the NopeCHA extension in a browser.

Pros

No coding required.

Fast and cheap.

Works on all sites.

Impossible to detect.
Cons

Proxies may be needed.

Browser required (e.g. Selenium, Puppeteer, Playwright).

To solve CAPTCHAs, the NopeCHA browser extension uses the Recognition API to find locations to click or characters to type.
