It's also slow and makes cultural assumptions. SQUIGL-PIX doesn’t work for me in Chrome either. It’s also slow and makes cultural assumptions.

I can get squigl-pix to work in Firefox and IE, but still nothing on esp-pix. I tried esp-pix in IE and Firefox; in IE, the images don't render properly; in Firefox, all I get are red dots in the boxes. Oh well, I guess these CAPTCHAs still need work.

The SQUIGL-PIX test seems to be a little too cutting-edge in its HTML and doesn't work for me in either Firefox or Opera; I think it's using SVG in its implementation. The ESP-PIX one seems to be having problems with corrupted image files; no browser I have will display the images, and if I download them manually, my image viewer reports a decoding error.
