Bug Description

I was not able to post a reply on xda developers forum. Recaptcha told me that the browser does not support the widget. It seemed strange since this is a commonly used captcha framework.

However, testing with the following test page https://patrickhlauke.github.io/recaptcha/ revealed that reCaptcha is not working at ll in the Ubuntu Browser.

Since this is an important verification method these days I would assume someone needs to talk to Google to either allow our User-Agent, or we must fake once again the UA string in some way. This is really a bad thing I know. But what does it help?
